FC Basel shows the Swiss champion who's boss. FC Basel defeats FC Thun 4:2. Asane Sow scores twice for the Basel team. The Basel team starts without the expected starters Shaqiri, Otele and Metinho, who initially take a seat on the bench. Coach Lichtsteiner instead chooses Omeragic, Leroy and Olaigbe. For the injured Omlin, Salvi guards the goal. After early Thun pressure, the FCB strikes in the 5th minute: Celar extends a long ball to Olaigbe, who serves Sow. The winger scores from ten meters into the far corner. The Basel team dominates the first half and increases through another Sow goal after a double pass with Leroy to 2:0. After the break, Celar makes it 3:0 with a deflected shot. Stewart shortens the Thun lead, but Shaqiri re-establishes the old distance with a shot after a corner. In the final minutes, Labeau scores the 4:2 final score, which infuriates coach Lichtsteiner on the sidelines. FC Basel is currently in 7th place in the Super League, three points behind the leaders BSC Young Boys. In the current season, Basel has scored 1 goal and conceded 1 goal.
