Servette wins Swiss Cup

Monday, 22 April 2024 06:30

Servette Women won the final of the Swiss Cup on Saturday against the Bern team YB, 2-3.

It’s the second time in a row the team have won the cup.

The result was not without controversy – one of Servette’s goals was allowed, although slow motion replays show a player was offside.

In addition, the YB coach claimed Servette just played for time when they were ahead and said the ref failed to call for a penalty.

But the Servette women’s team put that behind them at the press conference after the game – celebrating and spraying everyone with champagne.
