Servette head league after draw with Zurich

Servette Geneva have gone one point clear of four other teams in the Swiss top league after a 2-2 draw with FC Zurich.

The Geneva side took an early lead after only nine minutes with a goal from Londono, and were up 2-0 after 25 minutes when Rey found the back of the net.

But Gilbert Gress’s Zurich side fought back and Frick’s goal after 39 minutes saw them go into the locker rooms at half time 2-1 down.

The equaliser, for the cup-holders came from Jamarauli in the 64th minute.

Servette can’t expect to hold on to their top position for too long. The rest of the league’s teams will play their season’s second matches on Wednesday.
