Sion beat Thun 3:2 in the Swiss Super League on Saturday, a result that keeps the hosts third in the table while Thun remain seventh after six matches. The game was decided in the final minutes at the Tourbillon, with Josias Lukembila scoring the winner in the 94th minute. And here's the thing — it could have gone either way until that moment.
Jan Bamert opened the scoring for Thun in the tenth minute, but Noé Sow equalised for Sion before half-time. The visitors made three changes at the break, bringing on Dorian Derbaci, Olivier Mambwa and Mattias Käit. By then the game had settled into a rhythm that neither side could quite control.
Donat Rrudhani converted a penalty for Sion in the 53rd minute, putting them ahead. Fabio Fehr added a second for the hosts in the 71st minute, but Thun pulled one back through Lukembila in the 90th minute before the late winner. The visitors saw it out despite playing the second half a man up after Franck Surdez's sending-off.
Sion had 49 per cent possession but created chances more efficiently. They registered six shots on target compared to Thun's four, while the visitors had more attacks overall — 106 to 91. The statistics tell a story of a game decided by moments rather than sustained pressure. To be fair, both sides had their fair share of opportunities.
The three points move Sion further clear in third place with 12 points, while Thun's seven points leave them seven behind the hosts. It was a result that defied expectations — we had backed Thun at 40 per cent confidence, but the match went a different way. Lukembila's double showed why football remains unpredictable.
