Match report

Basel II Snatch Late Victory in Bellinzona Thriller

Basel II came from behind to beat Bellinzona 3-2 in their 1. Liga Promotion clash on Tuesday evening. The away side took all three points despite trailing twice, with their winner coming in the 87th minute to complete a comeback. Bellinzona remain rooted to the bottom of the table after this result, while Basel II move further clear of the relegation zone. Bellinzona started brighter, taking the lead through an early strike in the 29th minute. They were comfortable for a while, but Basel II responded before half-time with an equaliser in the 40th minute to level things up. To be fair, the home side had chances to build on their advantage, but Basel II's defensive shape held firm until the break. And here's the thing about that penalty miss in the 47th minute — it could have been the turning point of the match. Bellinzona had an opportunity to go ahead again but were denied from the spot. By then Basel II were growing into the game, and their belief was growing with every passing minute. The away side took the lead for the first time when they scored in the 54th minute, and Bellinzona's response was a goal of their own in the 68th minute to make it 2-2 once more. But Basel II had the last word, finding a winner in the 87th minute to complete their comeback and leave the home crowd stunned. Bellinzona sit 18th in the table with just one point from five games, a run that includes losses to Rotkreuz, Amical St-Pre, and Bavois among others. Basel II are 11th with six points from five matches, still searching for consistency but showing they can compete away from home. The result extends Basel II's ability to collect points on the road, while Bellinzona's winless run continues unabated.
