All goals in the video Winterthur wins the game of last hope

Winterthur is still alive. The bottom team has hope of staying in the league after a 2:1 home win against Lausanne-Sport. As Grasshoppers lost the derby against FCZ 1-2, FCW could still make it into the barrage late on.

Just under a month ago, there was an air of sad melancholy on the Schützenwiese in Winterthur. Although the fans drank their usual beer after the match against the Grasshoppers, the barley juice probably didn't taste quite as good this time, as FC Winterthur had lost 2-0 to the Grasshoppers that evening and only the boldest optimists were likely to believe that FCW's time in the Super League would not come to an end any time soon.

Well, on this Saturday evening, the beer must have been flowing again in summer temperatures, and this time it tasted great. After FCW's 2:1 win against Lausanne-Sport, there was a glimmer of hope in the time-honored stands. As the Grasshoppers lost the derby against FCZ 2-1 at the same time, Patrick Rahmen's team reduced the gap to the barrage place to four points.

The clash against Winterthur on Tuesday

And as chance and the fixture planner would have it, there will be a direct duel at the Letzigrund on Tuesday, which will be groundbreaking either way: either because Winterthur's relegation will finally be sealed, or because they will create the greatest possible tension before the final round with a win against Grasshoppers and hope for a last-minute rescue in the barrage.

Nishan Burkart put Winterthur in front early on after a long ball, and because top scorer Andrin Hunziker quickly had an answer ready (66') to Omar Janneh's equalizer (56'), Winterthur are still hanging on by a thread in the Super League.

Grasshoppers could have clarified matters with a win in the derby, but the record champions failed to win their first game under new coach Peter Zeidler. Although Emmanuel Tsimba put GC ahead after just over half an hour, he did his team a disservice in stoppage time with an assault on Lindrit Kamberi. Alexander Hack and Ilan Sauter turned the tide in favor of the Zurich side when they were outnumbered.
