Duel at eye level ends 1:1 St.Gallen and Lugano share the points

FC St.Gallen and Lugano went toe-to-toe on Sunday evening and shared the points after an entertaining 1-1 draw. The best scenes in the video.

There were two VAR decisions in Ticino in the first half, with Kacper Przybylko taking center stage both times. In the 8th minute, the Polish striker appeared to have put the home team ahead. However, after a video review, the header was disallowed because Lukas Mai, who was offside, had irritated the goalkeeper.

Shortly before the break, it was the other way around: after Przybylko's goal, the assistant referee raised his flag and the goal once again did not seem to count. However, after a video review, the offside was disproved and Przybylko was allowed to celebrate his third goal of the season. As Lukas Görtler had put the visitors ahead with a header in the meantime, they went into the break at 1:1.

As no further goals were scored in the second half - thanks in part to another strong performance from Lawrence Ati Zigi - the score remained 1-1, a result that both teams could clearly live with after their away games in Turkey during the week. With ten points each, Lugano and St. Gallen remain close to the top of the table.
