Bern’s club Young Boys still has a two-point lead and one game less, but hot Lugano is closely chasing them. There’s no need to waste words on how much credit Žan Celar deserves for this. The Slovenian national team player was once again the hero of his club, which visited Zurich. Grasshoppers, who are at the bottom of the table, put up a good fight against the black and whites, but ended up losing in the end.
The decision about the winner was made in the 10th minute when the guests earned a penalty, and Žan Celar converted it into a goal. Lugano then dominated possession, and in the end, even with one player less after Mohamed Haj Mahmoud was sent off in the 76th minute following a video review. Žan Celar left the field at the legendary Letzigrund stadium in the 82nd minute.
The former player of Maribor and Roma rejoiced his thirteenth league goal of the season in Zurich (he needs only three more to equal his achievement from the previous season) and remains the top scorer in the Swiss league. Chadrac Akolo from St. Gallen is two goals behind, while Chris Bedia from Servette has three goals less. In all competitions combined, Žan Celar has already scored 19 times in the current season!
