When Olympique Fribourg's Quintus Melliger, in the 73rd minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Olympique Fribourg. Tristan Arioli made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ancho Gurgov in the 76th minute of play. If Quintus Melliger had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
