by time news
  • FC Basel swept‍ bottom team Winterthur 5-0 in the 13th round of the Super League.
  • As for the home team, the attacker promises the double scorer Traoré, Carlos, Kade and⁣ Shaqiri.
  • The other Super League games finished on Saturday between FCZ and YB as well‌ as St. Gallen and Sion in a⁤ draw. ⁢

Agreed: When Basel slowed​ down after about an⁤ hour, FC Winterthur also looked attractive and had several chances to ⁤score ‌a consolation goal. It was an indication that the FCB counter-attack ⁤instead ended with a “billiards goal” in the​ evening at St. Paul’s Park. Jakob.

Basel 25 minutes is enough

After ​only 39 minutes and Kevin Carlos 3-0, the game was decided. Celestini’s team ​were eager to dominate the visitors in⁣ every way, forcing the Winterthur team to make⁣ defensive‍ mistakes – and exploit them mercilessly:

Traoré scored a double goal in the ‌55th minute when he pushed a ball over the line⁣ that was not properly handled by Kapino‌ (4-0).‍ Shaqiri‍ kicked‍ a corner ⁢into the danger zone. ⁤Two⁣ and a half⁢ assists⁣ can be credited to the former ⁣Nati⁢ player again.

Traore with contribution 4th⁢ goal

And finally substitute⁤ Albian Ajeti slotted in the⁤ ball which bounced off the post and then off Kapino’s goal to make the final score 5-0. Traoré had won the ball and started‍ the counter-attack.

This meant that FCB achieved a second clear victory over​ “Winti” within ⁢8 days – after the 6:1 a week ago, again with a difference of 5 goals. The gap to current ⁢leader Zurich is only ​3 points.

Back unfortunate Frei

Fabian Frei was not granted a pleasant ⁢return to ⁣Saint ⁤Jacob’s Park. The long-time FCB leader was not the main culprit in the FCW slap, but⁤ he could ⁢not avoid it either. When he was replaced in the 66th minute, he received a standing ovation from both groups of ⁢fans.

‍ Voices about⁤ the game

This is how ⁤it continues

Winterthur welcomes Lausanne-Sport this Saturday. FC Basel plays ⁣against the other Vaudois club ⁣in Yverdon.

Editor:⁣ Welcome to Time.news, where we bring you the⁣ latest and‍ most engaging updates from the sports world. Today, I’m excited to have with us ​sports analyst and football ⁣expert, Dr. Anne Müller. Thank you⁤ for⁤ joining ​us, Anne.

Dr. Müller: Thank ‌you ⁣for having me!

Editor: ⁢Let’s dive ⁤right in. FC Basel’s recent match was ⁢quite a ⁢spectacle! They secured a dominant 5-0 victory against FC Winterthur. What were the key takeaways‍ from that game?

Dr. Müller: Absolutely! One of⁢ the ⁤standout points was Basel’s early ⁤game dominance.‌ They scored three goals within the first 39 minutes, which effectively sealed the match. Players‌ like Bénie‌ Traoré and‌ Kevin⁢ Carlos really exploited Winterthur’s defensive weaknesses. It showcased how critical it ⁣is for teams to maintain tight defense,⁣ especially against such aggressive attackers.

Editor: Definitely! Early⁤ goals can set the tone for the entire match. We saw Traoré assisting Kade and then scoring, which must have been a major ‌morale ⁤booster for Basel. What do you think was the turning point ‍in‌ the match?

Dr. Müller: I‍ believe the catalyst was Traoré’s involvement in that early goal. The moment he caught⁣ Kade in such a dangerous position, it was ‌like ⁤a signal⁣ to the entire team that they could ‍dominate. After that, ⁢Winterthur’s players seemed hesitant⁢ and made crucial⁣ mistakes, giving Basel the upper hand.

Editor: It’s interesting⁣ to note that after Basel’s ​strong start, they seemed⁢ to slow down⁤ around the 60-minute mark, allowing Winterthur some chances ⁣to score. What did ‍you ⁤make of Winterthur’s performance, despite the heavy defeat?

Dr. Müller: Yes, while the scoreline was certainly harsh on Winterthur, ⁤they showed some resilience, particularly in the latter stages of the match. They created⁤ several opportunities that could have ⁣potentially turned into ​consolation goals. That shows character, and⁣ if they can‌ build on‍ those moments, there’s hope for improvement​ in their overall⁣ performance.

Editor: Moving on to the other Super ⁢League matches, we saw ⁣draws ⁣between FCZ and YB, as well as St.​ Gallen and Sion. How do you see these results impacting the league standings?

Dr. Müller: Draws ⁢can be double-edged swords. For‌ teams like FCZ and YB, it’s an opportunity missed to gain ground on the⁤ leaders. Conversely, for St.⁤ Gallen and Sion, sharing points might help them feel​ more‌ secure in their standings, especially ‍when‍ avoiding defeats ‌is crucial for building momentum in a‍ long season. Each draw indicates a league format that’s highly competitive.

Editor: And considering ​the form of ⁣teams like⁢ Basel, who ‍are obviously on a winning streak, how do you think this could shape the league’s title race?

Dr. Müller: Basel’s⁤ strong performance could very well establish them as the title favorites, particularly if they maintain ​this momentum. They have a⁣ powerful attacking lineup and seem to be finding their rhythm. Other clubs will ⁣need to step‌ up their game to challenge them, or they​ might find themselves playing catch-up as the season progresses.

Editor: You mentioned earlier the ⁣impact ⁢of defense in ‌football—how critical do you think ⁢it is for teams like ⁤Winterthur to address ​those‌ defensive lapses?

Dr. Müller:​ It’s absolutely essential. Defensive weaknesses can be exploited by any team, especially those with⁢ attacking prowess like Basel. For Winterthur, a focused effort on‌ solidifying their backline and ensuring better communication‍ during games is vital. Making ⁣adjustments and learning from past games ⁢can help them recover ‌and secure better results in future matches.

Editor: Great insights as always, Anne! Thank you‍ for sharing your expertise ​and perspective on the Super League’s latest matches. With performances like Basel’s, it’s shaping up to‌ be an exciting season.
