“Julian Stark opened the scoring with a composed finish assisted by Marcel Monsberger, giving Vaduz an early lead just minutes after Rrudhani had a shot blocked.”
Pivotal“Donat Rrudhani, who had earlier been booked for simulation, atoned by converting from close range after Sion exploited a corner routine to level at 1-1.”
Pivotal“Marcel Monsberger, who had assisted Stark's opener, now got on the scoresheet himself to restore Vaduz's advantage at 1-2, capitalising on sustained set-piece pressure.”
Pivotal“Substitute Winsley Boteli, on the pitch for less than 30 minutes, pulled Sion level at 2-2 with a finish that rewarded their relentless second-half pressure and set up a frantic finale.”
Pivotal“Franck Surdez, another second-half substitute, delivered the winning blow in stoppage time to complete Sion's remarkable comeback and deny Vaduz a hard-fought point.”

Outstanding performance
Sion•MidfielderVaduz made a blistering start at Tourbillon, with Julian Stark heading home Marcel Monsberger's assist inside five minutes to silence the home crowd before the match had found its rhythm. Sion's response was immediate and scrappy — a yellow card for simulation handed to Donat Rrudhani moments after, before the same player levelled matters in the 21st minute following sustained corner pressure. Monsberger then turned provider into goalscorer to restore Vaduz's lead at 36 minutes, and heading into the break the visitors looked the more composed side despite Sion's statistical dominance — 82 dangerous attacks to 48, and seven big chances created to just one. The second half told a different story entirely, with Sion's wave of substitutions at the 56th minute reshaping the contest. Winsley Boteli, one of those introduced, equalised in the 83rd minute, before fellow substitute Franck Surdez delivered the sucker punch in stoppage time to send the home faithful into raptures. For Sion, the win rewards persistence despite glaring wastefulness in front of goal; for Vaduz, it is a painful lesson in game management — they led twice and left empty-handed.

Kick-off! The referee is Hajrim Qovanaj.
Sion look to build on their impressive 3-0 win over Luzern when they welcome a Vaduz side running on fumes after a midweek Conference League trip to Finland. With Vaduz yet to pick up a Super League point and still adjusting to life in the top flight, the home side hold a significant advantage at the Stade de Tourbillon.
