In the 90th minute, Basel were rewarded for the first time for their late storming run in their home game against Zurich. Substitute Vincent Nvendo stood on Dominik Schmid's foot in his own penalty area and caused the penalty, which Shaqiri converted to make it 1-1. And in the 97th minute, substitute Ibrahim Salah made it 2-1, creating complete euphoria at St. Jakob-Park. The Zurich side had taken the lead in the 16th minute through defender Ilan Sauter.
At the top of the table, FC Thun extended their lead over their closest rivals Lugano and St. Gallen.
