1989 Klötzli incident

One of the most discussed scenes in Swiss football took place, on 7 October 1989, the Klötzli incident. The injury time was running in the Nationalliga A match between FC Sion and FC Wettingen as the away team scored a goal. Everyone in the stadium thinks it is the equaliser, except one, the referee. He blows the whistle while the ball is still in the air. The game is thus finished, no goal. Four FCW players then attack the referee, who then escapes into the cabin from kicks and punches. The scandal is perfect. The consequences are bans lasting several months and big fines. The incident is still considered as one of the biggest scandals in Swiss football.
