Almost nothing at the start of the 2018/19 season for FC Basel. After the home defeat against St. Gallen by the second goal at the last second and Silvan Widmer's package for the first leg in Thessaloniki due to a gastrointestinal infection, he also beat in Thessaloniki. Because Widmer's improvised substitute, Raoul Petretta, injured in a duel with PAOK Vieirinha's captain before half-time, the throttling neck on the right side of the defense was accentuated
FCB: victorious or Prime Minister
Alberto Cañas after half an hour and the goal instinct of St. Gallen Alexander Prijovic in the 80th minute put the FCB in Toumba stadium sold out from Thessaloniki in distress. The fact that the boycott's own attachment boycotted the game did not help the FCB. Albian Ajeti had the chance to score in the 82nd minute thanks to a center from Valentin Stocker who led the away goals so important, which considerably improved Basel's starting position. A home win 1-0 next Tuesday would allow FCB to advance in the second leg on August 1st (Wednesday).
Omlin minimizes damage
The late goal was the most positive during a trip to the Mediterranean coast of the Aegean Sea. Basler's door to qualify for the 3rd and final qualifying round, synonymous with the participation of the Europa League in case of failure later, therefore remains relatively open, especially as Saloniki still has a chance to be available. On the one hand, this is due to goals outside Basel and, on the other hand, to the strong performance of goalkeeper Jonas Omlin. The successor of defender Thomas Vaclik highlighted in particular in the 56th minute reflex ultra-fast against Dimitrios Limnios, which at least for the purpose should not open work.
That Raphael Wicky his third time change not stop at the same time with his antipode Razvan Lucescu completed, showed that the FCB coach could live with the 1: 2. However, Wicky must hope that bad luck in the coming days will not stop and that Widmer will be up and running in a week. In Thessaloniki, he needs a 3-4-3 with backs (left) Petretta and Blas Riveros on the outside lanes in midfield. After Petretta's absence, 20-year-old central defender Yves Kaiser had to step in.
While the Baselers, especially Stocker in the 12th minute before the almost empty goal and Ajeti at the first stop just before the goalkeeper of Saloniki Alexandros Paschalakis, excluded best opportunities, the opponent of manageable quality was accurate. The 1-0 came virtually unannounced
