2 – 2
“Lukas Daschner gave St. Gallen a deserved lead right on the stroke of half-time, capitalising on sustained pressure that had included a saved shot from a corner moments earlier to fire home with his right foot.”
Pivotal“Barely a minute into the second half, substitute Daniel Mikołajewski — who had come on at half-time — immediately levelled for Luzern with an assist from Matteo Di Giusto, stunning the home crowd and erasing St. Gallen's hard-earned lead.”
Pivotal“With St. Gallen having dominated for long stretches but failing to find a winner, Matteo Di Giusto broke through to put Luzern ahead with a clinical finish assisted by substitute Aurelio Oehlers — threatening to hand Luzern a shock victory against the run of play.”
Pivotal“In a chaotic final minute that also saw yellow cards for Mio Zimmermann and Mikołajewski, Lukas Görtler stepped up to convert a stoppage-time penalty and rescue a point for St. Gallen, denying Luzern what would have been a stunning away win.”

Outstanding performance
St. Gallen•MidfielderSt. Gallen dominated this match from start to finish on paper — 61% possession, 24 shots to Luzern's 12, and 11 shots on target compared to a meagre three — yet somehow found themselves trailing heading into stoppage time. Lukas Daschner gave the hosts a deserved lead just before the break, but Luzern responded almost immediately after the restart through Daniel Mikołajewski, assisted by Matteo Di Giusto, in what was a gut-punch moment for the home side. St. Gallen continued to press throughout the second half, piling on the pressure with a flurry of substitutions, but their wastefulness in front of goal — eight Luzern saves — kept them at bay until Di Giusto struck in the 89th minute to threaten a Luzern victory. Lukas Görtler then rescued a point from the spot in the final minute of normal time, ensuring St. Gallen took something from a game they had largely controlled but nearly lost.
