The game at the Letzigrund offered a lot. In the end, both teams were probably dissatisfied with the points.
GC because they got off to the better start and took the lead through new signing Maximilian Ullmann before the end of the opening quarter of an hour. The Austrian, who was only signed in mid-November, converted a deflected pass from the left-hand five-metre corner completely unmarked.
Basel wanted to profit from Thun's slip-up and close the gap to the Bernese Oberland side to six points. However, the visitors struggled to get into the game. In contrast to recent matches, however, they proved to be extremely efficient and created the first chance in the person of Bénie Traoré - in the 33rd minute, of course, following an assist from Xherdan Shaqiri.
The fact that the score remained 1-1 until the end was mainly down to the two goalkeepers, with Justin Hammel in the Grasshoppers goal thwarting good Basel chances on more than one occasion. For example against Philip Otele shortly before the end.
Speaking of the end: only 19 players were left on the pitch at the end. First, 18-year-old Basel player Andrej Bacanin saw yellow twice in the space of just three minutes (61st/64th) on his starting eleven debut, then Zurich players Samuel Marques and Simone Stroscio did the same in the final quarter of an hour. Bad news for the injury-ravaged Grasshoppers.
