Es wäre ein schmeichelhafter Sieg für die Gäste, denn Luzern stand unentschieden und hatte sich in einem sehr attraktiven Spiel viele Chancen erarbeitet.

Doch damit waren die Gastgeber nicht zufrieden und liefen weiter. Erfolgreich: Nach einer Flanke von Filip Ugrinic war Ibrahim Diaye in der 91. Minute klar und köpfte den begehrten Siegtreffer....

I reached out to Gary Lacasse, executive director of the Canadian AIDS Society, to find out where things stand in Canada in terms of funding and programming, and the news, unfortunately, was not encouraging. “We haven’t had any increase in funding since 2008, specifically for HIV,” says Lecasse. “We’re still stunned, after so many closures, after so many redirections of funds, that haven’t committed to the experience that when you fund programs that are holistic, that take care of the whole problem and not just specific parts of it, you see reductions in cases HIV as we have seen continuously until [2014]when the rates started going up....
