Egypt goalie Al-Hadari conceded two early goals after Argentinean striker Raul Bobadilla scored twice in the first 15 minutes.

Sion’s hopes of reducing the deficit were dealt a major blow after midfielder Julien Brellier was sent off in the 76th minute.

However, Sion still managed to pull one back two minutes later through a goal from French midfielder Olivier Monterrubio.

But Senad Lulic killed off the game with a stoppage-time goal for Grasshoppers.

Sion slipped to seventh place in the league table with three points after suffering two defeats in the first three matches.
