Paulo Fonseca changed nine of the 11 that started in Saturday’s 5-2 win over Benevento, giving Borja Mayoral his first start for the club and Pau Lopez his first appearance of the season. The Swiss side were without Christopher Martins Pereira, Sandro Lauper, Esteban Petignat and Marvin Spielmann.

It took all of 14 minutes for the hosts to take the lead, as Bryan Cristante was adjudged to have brought down Fabian Rieder right on the edge of the area and Jean-Pierre Nsame converted the penalty into the bottom corner, giving Pau Lopez little chance.

Pedro Rodriguez blasted over when a free kick fell kindly for him, then Carles Perez did everything right with a mazy run through defenders until it came to the finish.

Nsame was very lively and fired another potential opportunity off target when one-on-one with Pau Lopez.
