The red-blues were well positioned against the harmony, which had to react in the first leg after 0-3 and ran again and again. The Swiss, however, stood well and did not allow anything. In the 19th minute Hinteregger headed just over the goal. Marcel Koller’s team gained more and more field advantages with increasing playing time and was then also the better team. Widmer missed the best opportunity for Basel, which failed due to the strong trap (27th). In the second 45 minutes, the SGE really accelerated again at the start and almost caught the 0-1 by a counter – Trapp was again the winner against Widmer (49th). A few pointer turns later, the harmony gained many chances to lead through Paciencia (52nd), as Costa (54th) and Kohr (57th), but left them unused. The Hessians did not give up, but the forces now diminished more and more. In the final period, F. Frei scored 1-0 for the FCB, finishing in the sixteenth round (88th).
The Koller-Elf have all won the last five games in the EL and have not conceded during this period. Group C was won with 13 points. FC Getafe (12 counters), Krasnodar (9) and Trabzonspor were ranked behind (1). Basel won eight of the ten games in the Euro League and only lost the guest appearance in Krasnodar on the 5th match day (0-1). There was also a draw in Turkey with Trabzon (2:2).
With 20 goals in the Europa League, the FCB is the second strongest offensive team. Fabian Frei (5 hits) and Kevin Bua (3) scored eight goals together and are the best goalscorers in the Swiss jersey.
Edon Zhegrova, Jonas Omlin, Ramires and Luca Zuffi are injured by Donezk.
