Breytenrain took on Young Boys II in the fourth round of the 1. Liga Promoção on Wednesday evening, and the hosts ran out 4:2 winners. The result lifts them clear of trouble while keeping the visitors rooted to the bottom of the table. And here's the thing — you don't need much more than that to read the afternoon.
K. Krasniqi struck twice in the twenty-seventh minute to open the scoring. Two goals in quick succession put Breytenrain ahead early, and by then Young Boys II had nothing to do all evening. The visitors simply couldn't match the tempo from the opening exchanges.
M. Marleku added a third thirty seconds later, making it three without reply. B. Ocran then nodded home a fourth in the thirtieth minute, and the hosts were in control of the tie. Young Boys II had to find a way back, but the damage was done.
The second half brought no relief for the away side. M. Marleku completed his brace in the fiftieth minute, and L. Damnjanovic grabbed a consolation goal deep into stoppage time at eighty-five. The visitors picked up two bookings in five minutes as frustration mounted.
After five matches Breytenrain sit eighth with seven points, while Young Boys II remain sixteenth on four. The gap between them widens with this defeat, and the visitors have hit a wall. The hosts have hit the ground running this season.
Recent form shows Breytenrain have been unpredictable — they beat Paradiso 2:1 last weekend after drawing with Bühl. Young Boys II lost to Brüel 2:4 in their previous outing, and the confidence seems to have gone. Both teams need to find consistency in this opening phase.
