Neuchâtel Xamax are taking legal action against their 3-2 defeat against Thun in the Challenge League's top match and are demanding a replay of Friday evening's game.

The Neuchâtel side lodged a protest against Thun's equalizing goal to make it 2-2 after the 15th round match. The club confirmed this on Monday.

According to Neuchâtel, the referee Hüseyin Sanli made an irregular mistake in the scene in question. Before Xamax defender Euclides Cabral headed a cross into his own goal in the 89th minute to equalize for Thun, Sanli is said to have interrupted the game due to a foul. The case was referred to the Swiss Football League's disciplinary committee.
