After a three-week hiatus, Swissball is back - and we're back with a bang! With 29 goals across the top two divisions, this weekend had something for everyone.We report back from St Jakob-Park, and the top-of-the-table clash - a win could have taken Young Boys 7 points clear of Basel but, alas, it was not to be as FCB continue to chase them down. And with St Gallen winning again, we have three teams who could feasibly win the league.In the rest of the Super League, Lugano put their European misery behind them as they continue to profit from a change of manager, Xamax's "11 man behind the ball" is inevitably breached as FC Zurich continue their good form, whilst Sion get their first win since September.We round-up the Challenge League, where Grasshoppers are now unbeaten in eight (but still 6 points behind the formidable Lausanne-Sport - who, of course, won again), whilst Schaffhausen's winless run continues, and Lausanne-Ouchy slide towards the relegation mire.Plus, we evaluate last week's Europa League action (and wonder whether Basel will be joined in the knock-out rounds by Young Boys), as well as a homage to Kobi Kuhn, and a dose of trivia in honour of the great man.Back next week!In the meantime, contact the show! swissballpod@gmail.com - or follow us on Instagram: @swissballpodcast
