Ibrahima Ndiaye nets brace as FC Luzern whitewash FC Wohlen

FC Luzern ended their pre-season campaign with a 6-1 obliteration of FC Wohlen, with Ibrahima Ndiaye scoring a brace.

In the seven-goal thriller, Pascal Schurpf gave Fabio Celestini’s men a fifth minute lead from the penalty mark after the ball bounced into the hand of a defender – leaving referee Lukas Faehndrich with no choice than to award a penalty.

Francesco Margiotta doubled the lead in the 18th minute from the penalty spot after Ndiaye was fouled in the goal area. Despite their dominance, the scoreline stayed respectable as the first-half ended 2-0.

The Swiss elite division side commenced the second-half like a house on fire with and justifiably got another goal through Margiotta in the 48th minute thanks to Schurpf’s assist.
