The final score went down as a 0-0 draw, with both squads exhibiting airtight defense that succeeded in nullifying the opposing team's offensive efforts.

Examining the statistical data, FC Aarau took more initiative in attacking, evidenced by the six corner kicks compared to FC Sion's four.

The cards not only denote the fiercely contested nature of the match but also demonstrate the defensive efforts from both teams to deny their oppositions any goal scoring opportunities.
