Grasshoppers saw off Lucerne in the Super League tonight, hanging on for a 2-1 win despite being reduced to ten men mid-way through the second half.

Boris Smiljanic gave Grasshoppers a 25th-minute lead from the penalty spot, with Steven Zuber doubling it seven minutes before the break.

A Roman Burki own goal gave Lucerne hope, but Grasshoppers held on despite the sending off of Davide Calla with 18 minutes to go.

In the night's other game, Dario Lezcano struck just after half-time to help FC Thun to a 1-0 win at Young Boys.
