FC Basel's run was halted by Servette in the 23rd round. Servette defeated Basel 2:1 at home, returning to winning ways after ten weeks against the leaders of all teams. The match-winner was Dereck Kutesa, who was still on the substitutes' bench in the goalless first half. After coming on as a substitute, the league's top scorer set up Alexis Antunes' 1:0 and scored the 2:0 himself.
Basel's new closest rivals are FC Luzern, who won 3-2 in an exciting match against bottom-of-the-table Winterthur. Lucerne were able to play for an hour against only ten Winterthur players, but only managed to score the winning goal in the 89th minute and through a penalty by Kevin Spadanuda.
In Sunday's third match, FC Zurich led against St. Gallen until the 71st minute, but lost 2:1. Jean-Pierre Nsame scored both goals for the visitors within five minutes (71st/76th).
In addition to Lucerne, the winners of the round also include Bern's Young Boys, who beat Sion 5:1 on Saturday. After the 23rd round, YB still occupy a place below the dividing line, but are only six points behind the top of the table.
