Servette claimed a 4-2 victory over Tunic at Stadion Wizen on Wednesday evening, moving into fifth place in the Superliga while Tunic remain rooted in tenth. The result leaves Servette three points clear of their hosts with eight games played, and it ended a run that had seen the visitors suffer three defeats in their previous four fixtures. We had backed Tunic for the win at 39 per cent confidence, but the match unfolded otherwise — a prediction broken not by luck but by the way Servette punished a high line that Tunic insisted on keeping.
Kingstone Mutandwa opened the scoring in the fourth minute, a moment that set the tone for a game where Tunic would control territory but Servette would control outcomes. Mathis Lambourde equalized just before the half-hour mark, and then Fabio Saiz — who would finish with two goals — restored Tunic's lead in the 38th minute. By then, Tunic had already accumulated 114 attacks against Servette's 86, and yet the visitors were the ones who looked most likely to extend their advantage.
Saiz doubled his tally in the 54th minute, and everything suggested Tunic were closing out a comfortable home win. But then the match turned. Nicolas Bürgy's goal in the 63rd minute was cancelled by video review, a moment that shifted the atmosphere on the pitch. Teo Allix struck in the 65th minute, and David Datro Fofana added a second in the 86th to complete the turnaround. Things came to a head when Tunic's goalkeeper made no saves in the entire match — zero — while Servette's striker converted four shots on target without missing.
The statistics tell a story that extends beyond the final score. Tunic held 60 per cent possession and completed 456 passes compared to Servette's 310, but their shot accuracy sat at 12 per cent while Servette's stood at 31. Tunic created three big chances and Servette created four — a margin that proved decisive when the match was on the line. The hosts had 12 key passes and Servette seven, yet it was the visitors who found the net twice in the final quarter of the game.
Substitutions began in earnest after the break, with Tunic bringing on Nassim Zoukit in the 45th minute and Servette introducing Noah Christoffersson and Tom Strannegard together in the 64th. The changes coincided with the turning point — Servette had opened talks about their squad depth earlier in the season, and by then they were proving it on the pitch. Tunic's Marco Burch received a yellow card in the 84th minute, a late booking that reflected a match where discipline frayed as the result slipped away.
Tunic's five defeats in eight games leave them with seven points, while Servette's three victories have brought them to ten. The visitors extend their winning streak to two matches after defeating Lausanne 1-0 on Monday, and they now have one foot in the upper half of the table. Tunic, meanwhile, face a difficult run with only one win from their last five encounters — a run that includes a 4-3 victory over St Gallen but also defeats to Sion and Grasshoppers.
