Basel goes to a 21st title of Swiss champion. Opposed to his dolphin Servette, the Rhineans swallowed a servette (5-1), far too light in defense without Steve Rouiller. Basel, which is now 9 points ahead of the SFC, has once again been able to count on an Xherdan Shaqiri on fire with 1 goal and 3 assists. All in front of 32,580 spectators.
The Genevans held a little less than half an hour, before Adams made the author of 2 fatal errors. Shaqiri took advantage of the 1st to open the scoring (28th) before turning into a smuggler for Ajeti on the 2nd goal (34th). The latter has the addition in a still salty on a pass of otele (38th), inflicting a real K.-O. to garnet.
These were reduced to 10 as soon as a 2nd warning for Antunes (48th). Despite this, Adams redeemed himself from his mistakes by reducing the scoring (55th). Paradoxically, Servette experienced better moments by evolving in inferiority, but it was too late. And the FCB rocked the nail by Traoré (74th) and Vouilloz (79th), both served by the inevitable Shaqiri.
The Boulois thus signed a 6th consecutive success in the championship. They have 9 points ahead of Servette – and a much better goal difference – while there are 12 in play. In other words, the carrots seem cooked.
In the group’s other game for the title, Lugano recorded a precious success by winning 2-0 in Lucerne thanks to Bottani (12th) and Koutsias (91st). Behind Basel, the fight for European places is fierce. Servette is 2nd with 55 points ahead of Young Boys (53), Lugano (52), Lucerne (51) and Lausanne (50). So everything remains to be done.
