Basel have been winning the domestic league for five years in a row, besides they’ve reached the Champions League round of 16 this season!
The weather in Marbella was rainy and windy, but that only gave players passion. Traditionally Serhiy Rebrov used two different squads in this game. This time goalkeepers Olexandr Rybka and Olexandr Shovkovskyi took the field in turn.
Kyivans opened the score 10 minutes into the game. Miguel put a cross into the box and Domagoj Vida headed the ball in!
Several minutes later Rybka cleared Streller’s shot in style. Late in the first half Dmytro Khlyobas substituted Artem Kravets.
After the break there were more shots on target and more goals. At first Lukasz Teodorczyk scored after assist from Buialskyi.
After Basel also changed almost the whole squad Swiss side started creating chances. 17-year-old Breel Embolo netted brace and conceded a penalty. Thus Sousa’s men won the game.
