Sion lost their home match against Young
Boys by two goals to one. Despite taking the lead early
on, Sion couldn't maintain their lead as they continued
the game with ten men after the sending off of Vanczak
who received a 2nd yellow card in the 41st minute. Four
minutes later, Kulaksizoglu scored the equalizer in
Hadary's net while Regazzoni made the score 1-2 in the
73rd minute. In the 90th minute, Sion's Brellier received
a 2nd yellow and Hadary's side resumed game with only
nine men.

Egypt's goalkeeper Essam El Hadary made
his home debut for FC Sion. The game ended in a defeat
for Hadary's side to their guests who are currently
2nd in the table.
Sion took the lead in the game after 13
minutes from the kick off. The goal came through a clever
through pass to Saborio who was onside and volleyed
the ball home from close range to give Sion the lead.
After the goal, Young Boys tried to come
back into the game and El Hadary was tested twice. The
first test for Hadary came through a powerful header
but the Egyptian was well positioned and hold onto the
ball.
Minutes later, Hadary was tested again
and did very well to come out of his goal to dive at
the feet of Young Boys' forward who was about to bury
the ball pat the Egyptian keeper.
Despite the good form of El Hadary, his
communication with defenders remained as a problem as
he came out of his net to defend a corner kick which
was swung high at the near post. El Hadary couldn't
collect the ball which reached a Young Boys player who
passed it to Kulaksizoglu and the latter sent it gently
past El Hadary who didn't anticipate the ball well.
It should be noted that Sion's Vanczak
received two yellow cards and had to be sent off in
the 41st minute and so, Hadary's side resumed the game
with only ten men on the field starting from the 41st
minute.
In the 2nd half, gameplay was restricted
in midfield area most of the time and Sion relied only
on counter attacks and long balls which proved to be
dangerous. However, it was obvious that playing with
one man down against a stronger club would not help
them reclaim their lead so they went for damage limitation.
