St. Gallen Stages Comeback Win Over Zurich Ahead of Benfica Clash
St. Gallen, Benfica's opponent in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, began the Swiss championship with a 2-1 comeback victory at home against Zurich. The match remained goalless in the first half, with Emmanuel putting Zurich ahead in the 50th minute. St. Gallen equalized through Görtler in the 70th minute, and substitute Hunziker completed the turnaround four minutes later. The lineup featured only one change from the previous Europa League match against Benfica, with Frokaj replacing Boukhalfa. The second leg of the Europa League tie against Benfica is scheduled for next Thursday at Luz.
