Imeri scores from free kick Thun also win in Sion and remain Super League leaders

FC Thun remain top of the Super League table after ten rounds. The promoted team deservedly won 1:0 in Sion, with Kastriot Imeri becoming the match-winner with his direct free kick.

Imeri, on loan from YB, scored in the 12th minute with a direct free-kick that Sion keeper Anthony Racioppi could not stop. The promoted side successfully defended this lead, albeit with increasing difficulty as the second half progressed. The Valais team deserved to equalize thanks to their efforts and the number of attacks.

None of the second-half actions, some of which were well played, brought Sion the goal that would have been a redemption. FC Sion have now gone 370 minutes without scoring at home, with their last goal coming on August 3 in a 4-0 defeat of Lugano.

Thun are rock solid and know exactly what to do tactically. After taking the lead, Mauro Lustrinelli's team were closer to 2-0 for a long time than Sion were to an equalizer. Michael Heule came closest to scoring Thun's second goal when he saw his long-range shot deflected onto the crossbar by Racioppi shortly after the break.

Thun's next test comes on Tuesday at home to Winterthur, while Sion will have their next opportunity to end their goal drought at the Tourbillon on the same day against FC St. Gallen.
