Lawrence Ati Zigi produced a commanding display in goal as St Gallen beat Sion 3-1 in the Swiss Super League, with the Ghanaian shot-stopper repeatedly keeping his side in control at Kybunpark.
While the hosts roared back from an early Ylyas Chouaref strike to win through goals from Aliou Balda, Lukas Gartler and late substitute Diego Besio, it was Ati Zigi’s steady presence that underpinned the result.
The 29-year-old finished the game with 4 saves, including two sharp stops from inside the box, and completed 84% of his passes as St Gallen built calmly from the back. He also won both aerial duels he contested and made several decisive claims under pressure, helping his team weather Sion’s late push after pulling one back in stoppage time.
Overall, Ati Zigi faced 5 shots on target, conceded only once and earned a strong performance rating of 7, reflecting his reliability behind a defence that occasionally left gaps in transition.
The win consolidates St Gallen’s position near the top of the table and sets them up nicely for their next league outing away to Grasshoppers, a tricky trip where the Ghanaian will again be central to their ambitions.
