Nordsjælland 1-0 St. Gallen result, stats and report

Grasshopper claimed a deserved 2-0 home win over St. Gallen, with Amir Abrashi and substitute Young-joon Lee doing the damage as the hosts kept their first clean sheet in five Swiss Super League matches.

Nordsjælland's early goal and disciplined defensive structure proved enough to see off a busy but wasteful St. Gallen side, continuing an impressive home record that has now yielded 12 goals and zero conceded across three matches this season.

Nordsjælland were dominant and controlled throughout at Sønderjyske, winning 3-0 to extend their excellent early-season form and confirm what the underlying numbers have been telling us for weeks about the home side's structural problems.
