Match Recap

Elias Pihlstrom needed just 28 minutes to score twice, and by then FC Lugano had already turned this Super League clash into a rout. Beckham Castro opened the floodgates in the 4th minute, Pihlstrom struck in the 14th and again in the 28th, and Behruzjon Karimov made it four before the half-hour mark was even a memory, at 36. FC ST. Gallen's Andrin Hunziker pulled one back in the 74th, but it barely registered against a scoreline that read one-sided demolition from start to finish. The result stretches Lugano's league-leading form to four wins in five, a run that also extends their edge in this fixture, given St. Gallen hadn't beaten them in any of their last three meetings. St. Gallen, meanwhile, sit fifth and now face a longer look at where this season is headed. Five goals, four different scorers, and a home side that never let up. Watch how Pihlstrom's second goal in the 28th minute put the game beyond doubt.
