Basel II secured a clean 3-0 victory over Brühl in the sixth round of the 1. Liga Promotion on Saturday afternoon. The result keeps the hosts in ninth place on nine points, while Brühl remain sixth with ten points after six matches.
R. Rushiti opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, striking in the 45th minute plus six. M. Correia doubled the advantage in the 79th minute, and Rushiti ended a barren spell when he added his second in the 85th. The goals came in three distinct phases of the match.
Basel II had shown glimpses of improvement recently, including a 3-2 win over Juventus on 29 August, though they had also lost 2-3 to Zürich II just days earlier. Brühl arrived with a mixed record, having won 4-1 against Amical Saint-Prex but failing to score in a 0-0 draw with Bavois.
The gap between the sides remains narrow. Brühl sit one point ahead despite the defeat, though Basel II's home form suggests they are capable of moving up the table with further consistent results. The match itself offered little drama beyond the goals, but the pattern of play pointed to a side growing in confidence.
