Justin Hammel stands alone
8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

No end in sight to Grasshopper's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Grasshopper has to find a result from somewhere.

Realdo Fili: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Grasshopper have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Match22 Jul 2028
Grasshopper cannot find the net
6 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Grasshopper say no — this time
The offer from Kokand 1912 for Ricardo Aebischer was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Nikolas Muci in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Grasshopper this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

5 academy graduates step up at Grasshopper
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
