The draw means the fifth game in a row that the Young Boys have not won. Coach Gerardo Siwan left the squad that was hit hard on Thursday at the Johan Cruyff Arena (3-0) most of the time. Miralem Soleimani, who was still in the starting line-up last Thursday, was not in the pick this time.
The Swiss champ, who still has to do without first goalkeeper David von Palmoss, was already ten minutes behind thanks to Eli Yuan. In the second half, Adel Jean-Pierre call the result from a penalty kick. But also the sanket was allowed to dock from eleven meters shortly thereafter. Victor Ruiz did not fail and brought his team back to the top. Thanks to substitute Mishak Elia, the Swiss got one point from the match. He made it 2-2 ten minutes before the end.
The return between Young Boys and Ajax starts Thursday at 9 pm. The Amsterdam team will try to secure a place in the quarter-finals of a European Championship in Switzerland for the third time in five seasons.
