FC Aarau gained a measure of revenge with a 1-0 victory over Grasshopper Club Zurich in the Swiss Super League on May 31, 2025, at 02:30, just days after suffering a heavy defeat to the same opponent. This resilient away win demonstrated Aarau's character and ability to bounce back, shaking up the league standings. In a much tighter and more disciplined contest than the previous meeting, the only goal came from a first-half penalty, calmly converted by Aarau's captain after a handball in the box. Grasshopper dominated possession but found it difficult to break down a determined and well-organized Aarau defense that was clearly motivated to atone for the prior loss. The home side's best chance came in the final minutes, but the Aarau goalkeeper produced a stunning save to preserve the clean sheet and secure the three points. This result had major implications for the league table, with Aarau climbing away from the relegation zone and Grasshopper missing a chance to solidify a top-half position. The Aarau manager praised his team's fighting spirit, and the Grasshopper coach rued his side's lack of cutting edge in the final third.
