Goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi made two wonderful saves in St. Gallen’s 3-0 win against Lugano in the Swiss League on Sunday.
The first save was point blank moving down to his left in the 74th minute and the second save was straight to his body pushing the ball away in the 71st minute.
Because both sides rested key players, the significance of this game was reduced. This however did not overshadow St.Gallen’s outstanding performance against feared opponents Lugano.
For extended portions of the game, the Espen had the upper hand and were able to break through the Ticino barrier many times. This was also due to the fact that the 30 extra minutes in the cup thriller versus FC Luzern were noted by the guests.
The Ticinesi lacked the sparkle and directness that St. Gallen displayed.
Lawrence Ati-Zigi is currently the best goalkeeper in the Swiss league. He has played 31 games this season for St. Gallen.
