His goals guarantee success: Basel’s European hopes rest on Amdouni

FC Basel is slowly running out of breath. The 3:3 against Servette was the sixtieth game this season for the Bebbi. And now there is also a finalissima. Against GC. Game number 61. It’s about Europe. Everything or nothing.

“On Monday we have a grand finale,” emphasizes Fabian Frei. “We have it in our own feet. If we perform like today, I am confident.” After all, scoring three times against Servette in Geneva cannot be taken for granted. However, the inherent errors must also be eliminated urgently on Monday. A capital error by both Michael Lang and Marwin Hitz led to two goals “Against GC we have to give everything again”, emphasizes Frei.

Life insurer Amdouni

The fact that FCB still has everything in its own hands as far as Europe is concerned is thanks to a man from Geneva: Zeki Amdouni. He scored two goals in his hometown. First he equalizes the game one minute after the 0:1. And in the 89th minute he made it 3:3. This goal can still turn out gold for FCB. Because if the Bebbi had lost, they would have dropped to seventh place. The worst case scenario would have happened.

It is not the first time that Amdouni saves FCB. He has already scored 20 goals in all competitions this season. The following applies: If he hits, then points are almost guaranteed. Only once in Super League did FCB fail to score when the 22-year-old scored. That was at the end of January with the 2: 3 home defeat against Lucerne.

So if Amdouni also scores against GC on Whit Monday, qualifying for Europe looks good. It would be his last gift to the citizens of Basel before he will likely migrate in the summer and deposit a double-digit amount into the ailing FCB box office. David Degen and Co. would at least accept it with a kiss of the hand. After all, they’ve probably been spared a few worries.
