Young Boys produced one of the most memorable upsets in their recent history, defeating French side Olympique Lyon 1-0 in a dramatic Europa League clash at the Wankdorf Stadium. Darian Males’s 61st-minute strike proved decisive, sending the 20,168 spectators into jubilant celebration.
Head Coach Gerry Seoane praised his team’s performance, highlighting their resilience and determination:
“This is a fantastic win against a top team. We started a bit nervously, but then we improved. The red card had a certain impact on the game. We showed a strong mentality, kept the opponent busy, and forced the 1-0 lead. The team showed great energy and a strong spirit.”
The result moves Young Boys to nine points from six Europa League matches, securing a place in the playoff positions. The win not only boosts their European ambitions but also ignites confidence ahead of their domestic campaign.
Young Boys now turn their focus back to the Swiss Super League, where they will face FC Luzern in their next outing.
