New signing Young-jun Lee needed just 42 seconds to score his first goal for the Zurich side. At the same time, the opening goal paved the way for their first win of the season. Although Bua equalised for the visitors in the second half, the Grasshoppers responded immediately and took the lead again just three minutes later through Tobers. It was also the Latvian's first goal in a GC shirt, and Ndenge's 3:1 in the 90th minute was the end to a convincing game from the Zurich side. Marco Schällibaum's team will now look to take this momentum into their next game, when they will travel to Yverdon on Saturday evening.
Yverdon Sport made a slow start to the new season. The team has managed to pick up points twice so far, drawing both times against Winterthur and Young Boys. Thanks to their better goal difference, they are in penultimate place with two points. Most recently, they were beaten 2:0 away at FC Basel 1893 and are still waiting for their first win in the championship. Now the home game against GC Zurich is up next.
Against Yverdon head coach Marco Schällibaum will still be without the long-term injured players and the new signings. Maksim Paskotši and Simone Stroscio are also out for the game.
The train for the GC-fans departs from platform 18 at 14:53. You can find more information about the train at www.sektoriv.ch. If you can't make it to Yverdon, you can follow the game as usual on 86live via live ticker and radio.
