The more than 27,000 spectators in the Joggeli almost fell asleep from boredom for about 85 minutes, after which the tired classic turned into a hellish ride. The trigger is FCZ defender Nikola Boranijasevic. He grabs Jean-Kevin Augustin roughly and correctly sees the yellow box. Whipped up by a very emotional audience, a pack forms, at the end of which Kasim Adams allows himself to be drawn into a violent act. The FCB defender catches his opponent Fidan Aliti with his elbow on the head. Clearly red, it’s the beginning of madness.

Minute: Krasniqi falls, Vogel pimps
FCZ joker Bledian Krasniqi storms into the Basel penalty area and falls after a mini-contact with FCB defender Michael Lang. It is more a swallow than a penalty, but referee Dudic points to the spot without hesitation. The VA? No problem, because Dudic has the best view of the scene. The citizens of Basel are beside themselves with anger. FCB coach Heiko Vogel is shown a red face and is shown a yellow card.

Minute: Cheers Simic, the Basler chef
FCZ prankster Roko Simic converts the penalty kick and jubilantly storms to the guest block. Thousands of people from Zurich traveled to Basel and celebrated as if they had just won their second championship title in a row. Simic takes off his jersey and gets yellow. Three minutes later, Mathew makes it 2-0. The people of Basel are boiling with anger, raging, puking in the jet. Instead of gaining ground in the battle for international places, they are now six points behind second place, entitling them to qualify for the Champions League.

Minute: Xhaka goes crazy
Pack formation occurs again. FCB captain Taulant Xhaka loses his nerve for the first time and grabs his opponent Antonio Marchesano in the face. Because Xhaka has seen yellow before, he flies off the field with yellow-red. On the way to the catacombs, Xhaka does the Zidane, headbutting FCZ defender Nikola Katic. He had previously held both arms in the air provocatively. Referee Dudic does not notice the panic, because he is busy sending FCB Dutchman Wouter Burger and FCZ substitute Mirlind Kryeziu off the field. In the turmoil, they violently push each other around before attacking each other. The Joggeli becomes an arena for cockfighting.

Minute: Referee takes Xhaka out of the booth
After studying the video images, Dudic can only show Xhaka the direct red card. It’s just stupid that the FCB veteran has already disappeared in the stadium. The referee waits in front of the players’ entrance for what feels like an eternity. Before him the Muttenzerbocht, overflowing with anger. When Xhaka finally comes, Dudic pulls out the red box. It is the 13th and final card shown by the referee.
And the end of a final stage that is one of the craziest Swiss football has ever seen.
