of St Gallen / Facebook The University of St Gallen has reclaimed the top spot in the 2024 Financial Times Master in Management Ranking after losing its crown in 2023 Key stories from this year's FT MiM Ranking By  Matt Kefford   The Swiss-based school dominated the ranking for 12 years until the perennial runner up, HEC Paris, managed to vault its position in 2023 St Gallen reclaims first place in 2024 due to strong performances in a variety of areas.  In key metrics related to salary performance and career progression St Gallen excelled against other European rival schools It ranked among the top five schools for the average salaries earned three years after graduation while 98% of students found jobs within three months of graduating and a further 93% said studying the school’s flagship Master in Strategy and International Management helped achieve their aims St Gallen’s career service also ranked top among all listed schools.  The school was helped by strong showings in metrics related to diversity such as the percentage of international students among the cohort (88%) and the proportion of women among students (47%).  The Financial Times also places significant weight upon how schools prepare students to perform on a global stage International course experience ranks schools according to whether students complete exchanges and internships in other countries while studying International work mobility ranks schools by their success in placing students in jobs in new locations In these categories St Gallen placed 13th and third One newcomer in the Financial Times MiM list for 2024 is INSEAD A world-renowned business school that has topped multiple FT rankings across different program types 2024 is the first year that INSEAD has been eligible to participate in the ranking since it established its MiM degree in 2020.  taking the place of the UK’s London Business School which falls to sixth and beating out competition from other well-renowned business schools in France INSEAD is buoyed by strong showings in the international work mobility category and its high proportion of international students and faculty.  HEC Paris and now INSEAD are institutions that make up the overwhelmingly large contingent of European business schools which dominates the FT MiM Ranking each year.  with six based in France making it the most well-represented country China is the only non-European country to feature within the top 20.  Across the 100 schools represented in this years’ ranking with HEC Paris and INSEAD followed by the likes of EDHEC Business School (4th) with 10 schools overall led by LBS (sixth) Germany has seven schools among the top 100 while Spain has five and Switzerland and Portugal each have four.  Business schools in Asia comprise a significant portion of the ranking Indian business schools take up 14 spots in the 2024 list They are led by SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (35th) and Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (39th).  there are also business schools from Taiwan and Singapore among the list.  While each year the number of Master in Management degrees available in the US increases, including at top institutions such as the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business there are just two US institutions in the 2024 list They are Hult International Business School (44th) and University of South Carolina Moore School of Business (79th) the MBA degree has always been the favored generalist degree type among business schools.

equestrian sport,” commented Damian Müller “This decision not only has an impact on the athletes and their entourages but also on the entire organising committee the volunteers and the Swiss Equestrian Friends who passionately follow the Swiss riders at Gründenmoss every year.” the federation has invested resources and time to support Longines CSIO St Gallen and its organising committee with the aim of ensuring that it could take place under the best possible conditions,” Müller said “We understand that important improvements need to be made to the footing investments have already

Gotta say, this sounds pretty good. One of the awful things about clerical life today is trying to just maintain institutional stuff. What I get queasy about is the decision-making issues that the previous article brought up. There are good reasons why "trusteeism" was fought so hard here in the United States. I like the idea of clerics being accountable for financial stuff, etc. to competent laity, but not if this accountability could be used to hold the Church hostage from necessary spiritual reform. That's the risk.

contract signed with Ebusco in the spring for twelve electric buses and putting the procurement of the vehicles out to tender again The dozen electric buses were actually due to hit the streets of St This timetable is unlikely to be met even with another manufacturer The reason given by VBSG is that the Dutch bus manufacturer failed to fulfil various contractual obligations due to its difficult economic situation The framework conditions for the new tender are currently being finalised internally Ebusco’s competitors are thus being given another chance For the Dutch company, this is just one of many recent setbacks. In September, the Scandinavian transport company Connect Bus cancelled an order for 47 electric buses from Ebusco in favour of BYD as the new supplier The background to this is that Ebusco has been struggling for stability for months there has been a lot of movement: At the beginning of September Christian Schreyer succeeded the previous management duo Peter Bijvelds and Michiel Peters as sole CEO There were also personnel changes on the Supervisory Board to a newly developed reorganisation plan to lead Ebusco back into calmer waters A ray of hope remains: In November, it became public that the Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion High-Tech was investing in Ebusco. Shortly afterwards, the company realised proceeds of 36 million euros with a share issue which the company management described as “essential for the continued existence of the company.” This was because the company’s balance sheet presented prior to the initiated reorganisation was striking: Ebsuco recorded a loss of over 60 million euros in the first half of the year alone Although the company has over 1,600 electric buses on its order books it was only able to deliver 98 vehicles in the first two quarters stadt.sg.ch (in German) I agree with the Privacy policy electrive has been following the development of electric mobility with journalistic passion and expertise since 2013 we offer comprehensive coverage of the highest quality — as a central platform for the rapid development of this technology where mountains symbolise the challenges of global leadership the triple crown-accredited University of St.Gallen prepares students to navigate peaks with confidence and skill The Master in Strategy and International Management (SIM) Since its inception in 2004, the programme has set the benchmark for management education.

to its reputation as one of the top business schools in Europe with a vibrant student life and a focus on practical experience,” she shares what attracted me to the SIM programme was its community As part of her Strategic Management course Houalla worked on a project that required developing strategic recommendations for Tencent to internationalise and enter new markets Two words Oya uses to describe her journey so far are “engaging” and “transformative” Group projects have enhanced her problem-solving skills and her ability to collaborate under pressure Working with a diverse cohort has broadened her understanding of different cultures and work styles This exposure has been instrumental in refining her communication skills and enhancing her adaptability — competencies that came in handy during her internship recruitment process Oya and her peers conducted mock case interviews dedicating considerable time to practice and feedback This preparation helped her secure multiple

SIMagination Challenge This social impact project allowed her to work with a team on initiatives for Bangladeshi start-ups which required collaboration with individuals from diverse backgrounds and establishing relationships with corporate partners It offered her practical experience in project management and cross-cultural teamwork and deepened her skills in communication and problem-solving “Studying and working in international contexts such as during an exchange semester or SIM international internship equips us to adapt to new situations quickly and build relationships with ease,” says Anna Sophia who found the university’s career coaching to be equally beneficial she aligned her career goals with her personal values and the SIM programme’s networking events helped her build the professional network required to bring these aspirations to life Anna Sophia will be joining Bain & Company as an associate consultant in Zurich “I am confident that the analytical and

companies headquartered in 44 jurisdictions — 47% based in Europe 18% in Asia and 6% in the rest of the world Even in today’s challenging business environment mergers and acquisitions (M&A) remain core to the world’s largest family businesses’ growth and capital strategy Nearly half (47%) of the companies included in the current Index were involved in at least one M&A transaction during the last two years.3 The largest 500 family businesses are well positioned to thrive as significant contributors to the world’s economy through their growth employment and impacts in the communities in

significantly to 56% from 37% in September 2024 signaling a robust uptick for dealmaking in 2025 It’s a continuation of the positive trend in 2024 in which M&A activity was resilient despite complex market conditions and deal values grew by 11% and volume by 9% compared to 2023 Leading family enterprises are often known for combining a long-term value horizon with an agile and innovative approach that drives strategic advantage These attributes help to explain why 34% of the companies in the Index have more than a 100-year legacy and an impressive 85% have been operating for more than 50 years

control of their Conference League fate to boot Fiorentina travels north to St Gallen tomorrow for its second Conference League date of the campaign after getting off to an ugly but successful start against the New Saints Raffaele Palladino rotated his entire XI against the New Saints and will likely do something similar here The real question is who gets the nod up front; Moise Kean and Albert Guðmundsson are both out (despite the former being on the squad list) so we’re probably looking at Christian Kouamé and Lucas Beltrán up front Gallen manager Enrico Maaßen uses a 4-3-1-2 shape Gallen want to pack the middle and force opponents wide and often succeed but struggle to prevent chances from those wide areas The fullbacks creep too high and the mezzale get sucked inside leaving an entire third of the pitch unattended That means the pressure’s on Cristiano Biraghi They’ll likely have a lot of space to work in especially if their teammates can combine down one wing and look for the quick switch Since none of that quartet is known for attacking the back post they’ll need to figure out other ways to trouble Lawrence Ati-Zigi in goal Whether that’s quickly sending the ball back into the mixer or shooting themselves the wide players are the most important guys on the pitch here trying to get its forwards in behind whenever possible this was the exact kind of approach that usually did the Viola in: 2 strikers against 2 centerbacks means there’s a lot of space for the attackers With the visitors likely to dominate possession that means leaving space for the pacy pair of Willem Geubbels and Felix Mambimbi Palladino will likely try to minimize transitional opportunities by keeping his double pivot sitting deep and hope that Yacine Adli and Amir Richardson have the pace to track back and offer some extra cover He’ll also probably keep one of the fullbacks deeper whenever possible to make sure there’s an extra man at the back at all times all the tactical tweaks don’t mean much if the players can’t get it right And the players not getting it right has been Fiorentina’s greatest defensive weakness this year It’s unclear who’ll get the nod in the heart of defense—Lucas Martínez Quarta and Matías Moreno look most likely—but they have to play smart and never lose their marks Gallen has only been shut out once at home this year and has scored 4 goals 5 times already They know where the net is and how to put the ball in it Fiorentina are pretty big favorites among the bookies limps into this one winless in its past 4 (3 losses) and missing a number of players it’s not hard to see why they’re the underdogs these squads are probably on different levels in terms of raw talent Gallen’s looked beatable this year and hasn’t defended well in space so I’ll put him down for a goal and an assist with Beltrán and LMQ rounding off the scoring for the Viola while Geubbels grabs a late consolation in a game that’s played at a much higher tempo than

Throughout his career, the artist Cory Arcangel has worked to redefine what an artwork is He has consistently asked what really makes an artwork art especially in relation to the rise of new media as NFTs and generative art jostle for places in the artistic canon and the definition of digital art is increasingly scrutinized Arcangel has joined forces with curator Giovanni Carmine to develop an exhibition exploring how the unstable boundary between what is considered art and non-art has played out over the last decade The result is ‘ALL I EAT IN A DAY’ at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen which presents a selection of media and objects that are relatively new to the institutional landscape: a livestream; an immersive environment; a website; plush toys representing NFTs; and more If the art world is an all-consuming beast then this show asks: What happens when new media is digested Arcangel has navigated the rise of new media within the art world since the beginning of his career he became fascinated with modifying near-obsolescent video game cartridges; later he trained an AI to play a discontinued smartphone game as new computer technologies were becoming widely accessible resulting in ever-increasing digital image production and circulation he voiced the anxiety that perhaps new media art created within the context of the art world might not be inherently more valuable than that produced outside it ‘All this stuff out there made by all these people is probably better than the stuff I’m making,’ he said during a discussion as part of the ‘Net Aesthetics 2.0’ event organized by Rhizome in New York and Arcangel brings that stuff into the museum presented in the context of the Kunst Halle confuse notions of what an artistic medium is or can be Arcangel says that he believes the medium of an artwork encompasses everything from ‘what the information [gained] from a work does’ to ‘how a work is talked about and which communities are interested in it.’ Arcangel addresses the specific medium of immersive exhibitions Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement (Version A) (2024) offers his take on the worldwide trend for wildly commercially successful immersive lightshows where paintings by historic masters such as Picasso and Monet are digitalized and projected in warehouse-like spaces at massive scales their inherent value as paintings disappears and a new kind of spectacular value is added by the virality of photographs taken in and posted from these colorful fly-by-night version’ of an immersive Picasso experience broken version of a medium that might soon be outmoded Watching over the show is the curators’ chosen ‘patron saint’ who programmed websites about eucharistic miracles in the 2000s and was beatified by the Vatican in 2020 (colloquially he is often referred to as the ‘patron saint of the Internet,’ a title that is likely to be officially proclaimed next year) Carlo Acutis Sitting in a Room (DALL-E image) (2024) Arcangel used DALL-E to generate an image of the young saint-to-be because he represents a moment in which a venerable institution encounters and embraces a quickly changing cultural environment Carmine and Arcangel are attempting a kind of transubstantiation too – except it is not happening to a wafer during eucharist but to certain media in a kunsthalle. As throughout his artistic practice of nearly 25 years

Terracciano—6: Was fine with the ball at his feet and made a couple of routine saves as one was deflected and the other a judgement from the heavens Michael Kayode—7: Made the tremendous goal line clearance in the first half that almost feels routine for him at this point and defended quite well generally Offered enthusiasm and pace going forward but very little guile; how well he can add that to his game will determine his eventual ceiling Lucas Martínez Quarta—6.5: Had a very LMQ game, what with the boneheaded giveaway that directly led to St Gallen’s opener and a couple other hiccups at the back as well, then canceled that out with Fiorentina’s first goal Matías Moreno—5: Had a rough first half and got hooked at the break I thought that LMQ was the weaker of the centerbacks through the first period Cristiano Biraghi—6.5: Created 3 excellent opportunities one of which was converted by LMQ off a corner Also managed to convince the idiot fans to stop throwing flares onto the pitch Yacine Adli—4: Not sure if he was tired or what notable only when he dithered on the ball and got robbed a few times Amir Richardson—6: Struggled to get hold of things in the first half largely because Adli was missing in action Improved after the break and helped Fiorentina control things once Cataldi entered although his passing was a bit scattershot by his standards Riccardo Sottil—7.5: Best showing since last season for Ricky Constantly accelerated past defenders and created all of Fiorentina’s good moments in the first half and a bunch in the second Unlucky not to score himself and deserved an assist It was his off-ball foul that led to the free kick for Lukas Görtler’s equalizer and he took the worst shot you’ll see this year but Edoardo Bove—7: His assist for Ikoné’s first was lovely but Bove just isn’t a trequartista Using him as such could work against better opponents if Raffaele Palladino wants a pressing demon in that spot but Bove Earned a good grade on effort (and that assist) alone but needs to play deeper against weaker opposition had the most on-brand performance imaginable Messed up everything in the first half with bad passes then demonstrated icy composure for both his goals Christian Kouamé—5: Assisted Ikoné to rescue his day but it was a rocky outing for Chris His imprecision with the ball was at its worst He works really hard but when he’s off the pace like he was in this one all the hard work in the world means nothing Pietro Comuzzo—6: Steadied the ship at halftime without ever being tested too much Lucas Beltrán—5.5: Produced a typically bustling performance but didn’t impact the game aside his role in Ikoné’s second when the advantage the Viola gained after he got tied up in a 50/50 challenge let Sottil surge into the box Also misfired on a gilt-edged chance that Sottil served him shutting down the middle of the park and keeping the ball moving in typically unfussy fashion Did talk himself into a stupid yellow card but was excellent otherwise Robin Gosens—6.5: I assumed he came on late to help cope with the inevitable aerial bombardment Fiorentina would face but instead he turned home a rebound to score That kind of experience is exactly what Palladino would’ve wanted Fabiano Parisi—6.5: Only played a couple minutes but looked very lively driving into space it’s worth remembering that most teams won’t be throwing numbers forward like St Gallen was and that Fabi won’t get as much room to wiggle around in 3 of Fiorentina’s 12 games this year have featured 6 combined goals the club hit that number 4 times in 58 games last year we’ve seen some duds—scoreless draws against Venezia and Empoli—but this group is designed to both score goals and concede them but the fact that 25% of Viola outings so far under Palladino have resulted in at least 6 combined goals is astounding Pietro Comuzzo is the best centerback in the team We’ve been chewing on this one for the past couple weeks but it’s time to swallow it The 19-year-old has taken advantage of injuries to and mistakes from the guys above him on the depth chart to cement his place as the best option at the back It’s an astonishing trajectory for a player who had generally been rated a fair prospect rather than a future star but Comuzzo’s pushed past that ceiling as easily as he’s pushed past his competition for a spot in the back line He had another on international duty over the break But I cannot fully describe my surprise that Palladino turns to Pietro Comuzzo to sort it out rather than Luca Ranieri and Christian Kouamé are perhaps the 3 most-criticized guys on the roster While the bile spat their way is often hyperbolic While they’re all genuinely talented players in their own ways they aren’t able to consistently harness their abilities for good They’d be starting in Florence or elsewhere A team of this size can’t afford to have 3 superstars at every position misshapen dudes and graft them into a Doctor Moreau-ass attack It usually doesn’t work and we get irritated at Sottil for robotically cutting inside and recycling possession to a centerback or Kouamé somehow missing his 17th consecutive 5-yard pass or Jorko pulling his sink stopper out and getting sucked into an alternate dimension blazing past hopeless fullbacks and wreaking havoc all over the box Kouamé’s baby giraffe legs congeal into the elegant violence of an orca and he’s the guy Côte d’Ivoire trusts in an AFCON penalty shootout Ikoné rolls a natural 20 and whatever fickle deity he’s sworn himself to turns him into an invincible lich king It’s really cool when the good stuff happens but it’s cool precisely because it’s rare and unpredictable This backup tridente is a toss of the dice and that’s fine Occasionally they’ll go full Three Stooges and enact comedic assaults on each other and us More often they’ll get a few things right and a few more things wrong And occasionally they’ll achieve apotheosis Palladino: ‘Fiorentina face a battle in St 2024 at 6:26 PM UTC·3 min readRaffaele Palladino assures Fiorentina will not underestimate St Gallen in the Conference League and gives clues as to his choices in attack Gallen on Thursday at 17.45 UK time (16.45 GMT) The Viola reached the Conference League Final for the last two seasons in a row and started the current campaign with a 2-0 victory over Welsh side The New Saints. That was a less convincing performance than expected but it is also true that they took a while to get used to Palladino’s tactics and seem to have turned a corner with recent results “My lads do not know the meaning of the word ‘underestimate’ in Europe,” assured the coach in his press conference in Switzerland. “I am sure those who will play tomorrow know they must give 100 per cent and St Gallen will cause us problems in front of their home fans It will be a battle and I am sure we’ll have the right attitude.” epa11671136 ACF Fiorentina’s Danilo Cataldi (L) celebrates a goal with teammates during the Italian Serie A soccer match US Lecce vs ACF Fiorentina at the Via del Mare stadium in Lecce EPA-EFE/ABBONDANZA SCURO LEZZIFiorentina are fresh from sweeping Lecce aside 6-0 in Serie A and the squad rotation seems inevitable Some of that will be limited, because Albert Gudmundsson is ruled out for four to six weeks by a Grade I/II lesion to the myotendinous junction in the femoral bicep of the right thigh. but is expected to only be on the bench after turning his ankle during that Lecce game “We have many players who can be used in place of Gudmundsson We have the characteristics to create issues for our opponents.” Palladino was asked what has changed at the Viola most recently after their sudden upturn in results and performances My strength is that I am focused entirely on my work I’ve been in football for over 20 years as a player and coach people go too quickly between euphoria and negativity “I always knew it was just a matter of time It wasn’t an issue of having a three or four-man defence it’s just getting to know each other better.” Swiss football enjoyed an extraordinary summer beating Italy 2-0 to knock them out of the EURO 2024 Round of 16 “We remember the Euros well,” confessed Palladino as I used to visit a lot to see a Swiss former teammate of mine but we’ll do our best to bring the win home.” If we have selected the wrong experience for you M&A offers an effective means for companies to reinvent themselves rapidly We recommend companies to make themselves ready to transform as they transact But many factors must be considered carefully before embarking on this course © 2025  See Terms of Use for more information  Deloitte AG is an affiliate of Deloitte NSE LLP a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited a UK private company limited by guarantee (“DTTL”) DTTL and each of its member firms are legally separate and independent entities DTTL and Deloitte NSE LLP do not provide services to clients Please see About Deloitte for a more detailed description of DTTL and its member firms "Thanks to the continued support of Longines as title partner and official timekeeper, the Longines CSIO St. Gallen will take place as planned from May 29 to June 1, 2025 in the Gründenmoos stadium," the event announced in a press release on Tuesday.  “We are delighted to continue our partnership with the CSIO St "This traditional tournament is one of the most important events in international equestrian sport and embodies values such as precision passion and top performance – values with which we strongly identify as a brand Gallen offers a unique platform where sporting excellence and unforgettable moments come together It is therefore a pleasure for us to continue to support this outstanding event and contribute to the development of equestrian sport." “We are delighted by Longines' clear and impressive commitment to our show,” Nayla Stössel but also the MS Direct Group and Land Rover we can offer the athletes and spectators the established program with top-class show jumping competitions and excellent entertainment for the whole family.” Predicted lineups are available for the match a few days in advance while the actual lineup will be available about an hour ahead of the match The current head to head record for the teams are Luzern 28 win(s) Have been awarded the most penalties this season (12) Luzern have won the previous 2 matches against St. Gallen.

For over-45s, though, the latter is the main reason for eating more plant-based meat and dairy analogues. Diet is a major source of PFAS, and research has found that vegans may have lower levels of these chemicals than omnivores Founded by serial entrepreneur Sonalie Figueiras in 2011 Green Queen is a multi-channel digital news platform and a trusted global impact media brand Our award-winning reporting reaches millions of readers globally Green Queen is the world’s leading food and climate media with a focus on future food innovation and food system decarbonization one of the most important consumer products and investment opportunities of our time Our coverage includes breaking news and product launches and exclusive interviews with entrepreneurs and key ecosystem players from every continent Green Queen is an editorially-driven media publication Over 98% of our content is editorial and independent Paid posts are clearly marked as such: look for 'This is a Green Queen Partner Post' at the bottom of the page The Super League match between Yverdon and St Gallen scheduled for Sunday had to be postponed Heavy rainfall led to difficult pitch conditions at the Stade Municipal The league announced that the clash in the relegation round will be rescheduled for Tuesday Gallen team have come out in support of Kosovo midfielder Betim Fazliji after the serious injury he suffered.  Gallen players had a picture of Fazlij on their jerseys before the match with Winterthur with the caption "one team Gallen is being defeated by Winterthur with a score of 3:0 after the first half This match belongs to the 26th week of the Swiss football elite.  25-year-old Fazliji tore his cruciate ligament in his knee again last weekend in the match against Basel This site is controlled and managed by KOHA are protected by KOHA's copyright and KOHA retains the reserved rights for them Materials on this site may not be used for commercial purposes without the prior permission of KOHA is prohibited The use of materials from any website or other medium without the permission of the KOHA Group on behalf of all the units that make it up (Koha Ditore is a violation of copyright and of intellectual property according to the legal provisions in force All violators of these rights will face the law The translation of contents into other languages ​​is done automatically and there may be errors Annex of the former Radio Prishtina (first floor) George Bush pn the removal of the art installation "Fly Erika" is up for debate The fly has many supporters who want it to stay At the University of St. Gallen, the artwork "Fly Erika" - a dead housefly - is causing discussion.

Felix Mambimbi’s header was off target from a promising position, but play was suspended for several minutes when fans behind Pietro Terracciano’s goal repeatedly threw fireworks onto the pitch. Christian Kouame should’ve done better when shinning a cross over the bar from 12 yards and then wandered offside so when he did get the ball in the net, it did not count from Yacine Adli’s assist. Moments later, it was St Gallen who took the lead when Adli was caught napping sluggishly playing out from the back, a wayward pass intercepted by Jordi Quintillà to set up Mambimbi’s deflected finish. Mambimbi almost got a second when he surged forward and unleashed a scorcher that Terracciano flew to palm away. Fiorentina had several big chances in quick succession, as Lawrence Ati-Zigi pushed a Riccardo Sottil strike round the base of the post, then on the resulting corner fumbled a Lucas Martinez Quarta header. He also beat away the Amir Richardson snapshot from distance. epa11680479 Supporters of ACF Fiorentina light flares during the UEFA Europa Conference League soccer match between Switzerland’s FC St. Gallen and Italy’s ACF Fiorentina in St. Gallen, Switzerland, 24 October 2024. EPA-EFE/GIAN EHRENZELLERStraight after the restart, Ati-Zigi made a desperate save using his trailing foot when the Sottil curler from the edge of the area took a massive deflection. It was turning into a siege, and after another unorthodox save on Sottil, Fiorentina equalised with the Martinez Quarta header from Cristiano Biraghi’s corner. Incredibly, they turned it around within four minutes, as an inspired Edoardo Bove pass allowed Jonathan Ikone to spring the offside trap and beat the goalkeeper one-on-one from a tricky angle. It remained wide open and St Gallen got back on level terms with a sensational looping header that Lukas Gortler steered over Terracciano into the far top corner on the Vandermersch cross. Fiorentina broke on the counter following a heavy collision in midfield and the referee gave the advantage, as Sottil and then Kouame moved it left to right for Ikone to sweep home at the back post. The constant interruptions due to fireworks thrown from the fans – mainly the Fiorentina supporters – saw a huge amount of added time. Just four minutes into that, Kouame’s effort thumped the base of the upright and Robin Gosens was ready to turn in the rebound. There was nearly a fifth moments later, a low one-handed save on Fabiano Parisi and Ikone firing the potential hat-trick over from a tricky angle.
