Basel celebrate a shower victory Tsunemoto shocks Winterthur with last-minute goal

Keigo Tsunemoto saves FC Basel in Winterthur. With the 2:1 in the 93rd minute, the 27-year-old Japanese scored Basel's first Super League win since October.

Since the 2-0 win over FC Zurich on October 27, Basel have suffered one defeat (at home against Lugano) and three draws in the championship. It also looked like a points-split in Winterthur. The home team was even closer to victory for a long time.

Xherdan Shaqiri was once again the focus of attention in Winterthur. The Basel captain put the visitors ahead after 29 minutes. However, he later lost the ball in midfield while gesticulating before Winterthur's equalizer by Andrin Hunziker (51'). And after just over an hour, Shaqiri was also awarded a penalty by the video assistant referee (VAR).

However, Basel are not doing well with penalties at the moment: After Shaqiri had already missed three this season, Philip Otele took over the execution, but he also failed to score against penalty killer Stefanos Kapino. The 27-year-old Greek in front of the Winterthur goal saved four of the last six penalties.

In the end, Basel still won because Keigo Tsunemoto scored for the first time for FC Basel - and for the first time since the thigh injury that put him out of action in the summer. Tsunemoto scored for the first time in the Super League since April 2024, when he was still playing for Servette.
