The world of football is full of surprises and twists and turns. This is what happened in the seventh championship match of Young Boys, who were overthrown by the Saint Gallen team. Despite the goal scored by Meschack Elia, the Yellow and Blacks ultimately lost 2-1, leaving the three points to their opponents.
Meschack Elia, who started as a right striker for Young Boys, scored the first goal of the game in the second half, on an assist from Ulisses Garcia. The Swiss champions then seemed on track to win, but everything changed in the space of three minutes. Schubert equalized in the 72nd minute, followed by Stefanović who gave the Saint Gallen team the lead.
It’s a disappointment for Meschack Elia, who was one of the key players on his team at the start of the season. For his part, Chadrack Akolo remained on the bench throughout the match. With this defeat, Young Boys lost second place in the standings to their opponent of the day, Saint Gallen, who now has 15 points, just one point behind Zurich Football Club, where another Congolese international, Jonathan Okita, plays.
This match demonstrates once again that in football, nothing is certain in advance and that everything can change in an instant. Young Boys will have to quickly recover from this defeat and work hard to return to the top of the rankings. As for Meschack Elia and Chadrack Akolo, they will certainly be keen to show their value in the next matches to contribute to the success of their team.
Surprises are an integral part of the world of football and that’s what makes every match more exciting than ever.
