On Sep 11th, Young Boys hosted Lugano in their last match together. Young Boys was victorious by a score of 3 to 0. Jean-Pierre Nsame scored the first goal for Young Boys in the 2nd minute, then Cédric Itten added another in the 41st minute on a penalty kick In the end, Lugano was frustrated by Young Boys’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Young Boys ended the match with the shutout victory.
Young Boys is fortunate enough to have Jean-Pierre Nsame in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored five goals. Boris Babic and Žan Celar are the top scorers for Lugano in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
