St. Gallen secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Zürich in a feisty encounter that saw nine yellow cards distributed across both sides. The hosts took the lead through Lukas Görtler's penalty on 33 minutes, only to see Ivan Cavaleiro level the score just three minutes later with a clinical finish. The match remained deadlocked until substitute Alessandro Vogt proved to be the difference-maker, netting the winner in the 76th minute shortly after coming off the bench. St. Gallen's dominance in possession (52%) and shot creation (17 vs 8) ultimately paid dividends, though they were wasteful in front of goal, missing four big chances in what could have been a more comfortable victory.
How entertaining was this match?
