Winterthur and Young Boys will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday seven fixture on Sunday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a penalty shootout away victory over Wil in the Swiss Cup last weekend.
They took the lead through Matteo Di Giusto's 10th-minute strike while Simone Rapp drew the game level in the 64th minute. Both sides could not be separated in regulation time, prompting extra time, where Wil went ahead through substitute Aaron Appiah on the stroke of halftime but Remo Arnold equalized in the 117th minute. Winterthur eventually progressed with a 4-2 victory in the shootout.
They will turn their focus to the league where their last game saw them suffer a 1-0 defeat at home to Servette before the international break.
Young Boys, meanwhile, suffered a harrowing 3-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League. Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey and Amadou Onana scored a goal each to help the Villans leave with all three points.
YB will turn their attention back to the league, where their last game saw them held to a 1-1 draw at home to Lausanne three weeks ago.
The stalemate left them rooted to the foot of the standings with just three points to show for their efforts in six games. Winterthur are one spot and one point above them in the table.
