Two travels in a row for Young, whose manager M. Vanetta could celebrate last time after the Champions League win against Ferencváros.

Fassnacht scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 21 successful passes (of 25 total). Felix Mambimbi came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Ferencváros last time out, making the manager M. Vanetta feel like a tactical genius.
