Strasbourg entered the match in already difficult situation as they had to overcome Basel by three goals to nil in order to advance to the next round. In addition to this, things got even worse for the homeside as they conceded an early goal after three minutes from the kick off through Eduardo.

Despite the early goal, Strasbourg managed to come back quickly into the game through Carlier who scored in the 11th minute. However, Eduardo scored another goal for Basel in the 26th minute and the first half ended in a 1-2 lead for the guests.

In the 2nd half, Kanté scored for Strasbourg in the 78th minute to end the game in a 2-2 draw (4-2 on aggregate for FC Basel).


It should be noted that Egyptian left back Abo Mosallam played the full game while Hosni Abd Rabo remained on the subs bench.
