Intro:

Basel stayed in touch with leaders Zurich after 1-0 win against Young Boys in Berne, Switzerland on Saturday (18th October).

Script:

Second played fourth in the Swiss Super League as Basel travelled to Young Boys.

Careless passing in the Young Boys defence gifted the Champions a chance on the half hour mark.

Shkelzen Gashi made no mistake. Putting Basel one up.

The Albanian with his fifth goal of the season. Yet replays suggesting that there was a very tight offside call that went Gashi's way.

The only remaining incident of the game was a heated exchange between former Liverpool man Phillip Degen and Young Boys' Guillaume Hoarau.

Both players picked up yellow cards for the incident, with Degen being substituted by Paulo Sousa perhaps as a precaution.

Basel go top, two points clear of Zurich who play Grasshoppers on Sunday.
