Strasbourg failed to
advance to the next stage in Europe's 2nd competition
as they drew 2-2 at home with Basel. The first leg match
ended in a 2-0 win for the Swiss side and Abo Mosallam
& Abd Rabo's club needed a 3-0 win in order to go
to the next round.
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.
