“Miroslav Stevanovic opened the scoring to give Servette an early foothold, setting the tone for a dominant first half from the visitors.”
Pivotal“Thomas Lopes doubled Servette's advantage just before half-time, converting after a period of sustained pressure that saw Vasovic and Kadile both go close, leaving Luzern with a mountain to climb at the break.”
Pivotal“Levin Winkler pulled one back for Luzern just minutes after a wave of substitutions, giving the hosts belief and signalling that Servette's grip on the game was loosening.”
Pivotal“Adrian Bajrami completed Luzern's comeback to level at 2-2, stunning Servette and turning what had been a controlled away performance into a genuine fight for the result.”
Pivotal“Oscar Kabwit scored with just nine minutes remaining to deny Servette what had looked like a match-winning goal from substitute Lilian Njoh two minutes earlier, completing a breathtaking finale and securing a share of the spoils.”

Outstanding performance
Servette•MidfielderServette arrived at Luzern looking comfortable and clinical in the first half, with Miroslav Stevanovic breaking the deadlock in the 11th minute before Thomas Lopes doubled the advantage just before the break, capitalising on some disjointed Luzern build-up play in and around the 30th minute. The visitors looked set to coast to three points. However, Luzern's coaching staff responded decisively at the break, introducing multiple substitutes around the hour mark, and the hosts were transformed. Levin Winkler pulled one back in the 67th minute, Adrian Bajrami levelled at 73', and when Lilian Njoh — another substitute — put Servette back in front at 79', it seemed the visitors had done enough. But Oscar Kabwit's 81st-minute equaliser completed a remarkable turnaround in momentum, ensuring both sides shared the spoils in a match that will be remembered for Luzern's extraordinary second-half resilience. The result leaves both clubs with complicated feelings: Servette will rue an inability to protect a two-goal advantage, while Luzern, boosted by their bench contributions, will feel the draw contained the seeds of something better.
