Super League Round of 16 figures: Many unsatisfactory players at FCB – three ranking stars outstanding

Cold shower for Ouchy! FCB took the lead after just one minute. Fabian Frei plays a ball from the center of the defense that Murat Yakin could not have hit better and finds Anton Kade. He takes the ball expertly and finishes cold. It is the second goal in the second match for the ex-Hertha player. The fact that the goal is not enough to win is because Finn Van Breemen loses the ball and Ouchy’s Mergim Qarri does what he likes most this season: irritate FCB. Romand was already the man of the game in the 3-0 win over Joggeli at the beginning of October. Basel right back Mohamed Dräger did not have a good evening. He is unable to move forward much and after an hour he is replaced by Kevin Rüegg.

Three Hoppers achieved top marks in the furious classification victory against the in-form Lausanne (unbeaten in the last six games): goalkeeper Justin Hammel, Filipe de Carvalho Ferreira and captain Amir Abrashi. At 23, Hammel made two great saves in the first half and proved to be a penalty killer in the second half against Kaly Sène, who scored four of his seven goals this season via penalties. Joker De Carvalho sets the leaderboard on the way to victory with a double (46th/50th). Amir Abrashi is the terrier in midfield, clearing everything in his path in sub-zero temperatures. He probably would have even removed the snow if there had still been snow on the lawn.

Until the 20-year-old winger scores, the snowfall in Letzigrund is characterized by many spots. The approximately 3,000 (well-numbered fans) are served little or nothing. Unlike GC, the Lausanne collective fails in both halves. The weakest: Dussenne. But his defensive colleagues Husic and Poaty also performed disastrously, conceding three of the five goals. Of the back four, only Custodio is sufficient. At the start of the match, the captain launched at least one or two attacks and allowed significantly less from his side than the rest of the back four.

Lugano wins 1-0 against Lucerne and stays in touch with the top regions of the table. Man of the match is Mahmoud. With his header, the Tunisian became the match winner in the Cornaredo, even though his performance before the match was questionable. Yanis Cimignani also showed his good side and provided the assist for the decisive goal. However, on the Lucerne side, many perform below average. This is mainly due to the weak evaluation of opportunities. Not even the substitutes can change that. Dorn and Klidjé both failed with top chances against Lugano’s goalkeeper Saipi. Max Meyer also has little success. And then after the substitution he simply disappears into the locker room to return later. Official reason: “Because he was cold.”

It was, to use Servette goalkeeper Jérémy Frick’s favorite expression, a “great” game that Frick said the fans certainly enjoyed. It has. 21 to 17 shots on target, many of them on target. And that’s why there are many fives in every team. At YB also for the two jokers Nsame and Janko, who turn out to be game changers. Nsame doesn’t do much wrong with his chances, but he meets an excellent Frick. And then there are also some threesomes. Because for the scoring chances to be so good, horrifying mistakes always have to be made. And there were plenty of them.
