Zürich secured a 4-2 victory away to Rapperswil-Jona in the Nationalliga A women's regular season on Saturday. The result leaves the visitors unbeaten after four games, while the hosts remain winless in their last two outings.
Zürich sit top of the table with 12 points from four wins. Rapperswil-Jona occupy seventh place with four points from one win, one draw and two defeats. The gap between them is now eight points.
The visitors have been in strong form recently. They beat Aarau 8-0 and Lucerne 3-2 in their last two matches before coming to Rapperswil-Jona. That kind of momentum often carries through.
Rapperswil-Jona's recent results tell a different story. They drew 1-1 with Young Boys and lost 6-0 to Grasshoppers in their previous two games before a 4-1 win over St Gallen. The support of the fans could be called devoted, but that is an assessment, not a fact.
What matters is the table position. Zürich remain clear leaders after four rounds. Rapperswil-Jona will need to find consistency if they want to climb out of the bottom half.
