Two raw negligence gave VFB Stuttgart the first defeat of the current season of the European League. The Swabian Bundesliga Club lost 0-2 (0: 1) against the Swiss champion and winner of the FC Basel Cup. The advance of the hosts reached the Albian Ajetti after a heavy sculptor of Lorenz Assignon from Stuttgart (3rd minute), for which 2-0 took care of the ex-Bochum Moritz Broschinski (84.) in front of 33,650 spectators.
VFB once again granted Himedin Demirovic a penalty (36th). After the break, almost only the Swabiens played, but did not reach the goal against the former Bundesliga goalkeeper, Marwin Hitz.
The two teams have three points after two days of the League match. Last week, Basel, formed by former master player Ludovic Magnin, lost 1-2 in SC Freiburg.
The atmosphere of the « joggeli » was heated, especially in the guest block, many pyrotechnics were burned. And the VFB took a catastrophic beginning. Assignon played a fake fateful pass in the sense of his own penalty zone, Ajeti appeared freely in front of Alexander Nübel and marked through the legs of the national goalkeeper for the beginning of 1-0 for the Swiss double winner.
Stuttgart residents bought, but had to pay attention to the counter-attacks of the hosts. After 18 minutes, Jeremy Agbonifo could have increased for Basel, but his low blow landed on the right post.
Badrédine Bouanani was one of Swabian activities in the first half, but Demirovic had the biggest chance. The attacker first headed freely above the door (27th). He then failed by penalty on the old Wolfsburg, Augsburger and the Dortmund Hitz goalkeeper.
The CEO of VFB, Alexander Wehrle, was annoyed that Demirovic had to wait a long time for a Var check. The process was « false, » he said « RTL ». Swabians can hardly deny that they generally have a major problem. Last season, they pulled five of the eight penalty planes and two out of three in the current season.
At the additional time of the first round, the guests were very lucky. The former professional of Bayern Xherdan Shaqiri awarded one of the three good chances of the Swiss with a Lupfer end of about 30 meters.
Even after the break, the game remained entertaining. Assignon hit only the outside of the angle (50th), Chema Andrés failed in the head (58th). Stuttrassers increased the pressure from minute to minute. About 20 minutes before the end, VFB coach Sebastian Hoeneß also brought the leadership of Chris and Bilal El Khannouss as new offensive forces.
From Basel, few came in the second round. After Tiago Tomás gave another great chance against Hitz (81st), Broschinski was suddenly on the spot and finally pressed a Shaqiri ball over the line.
