Omonia fought it in “St. Jakob-Park “against Basel, but left with a 3-1 defeat, in the third match of the Conference League groups, in a game that had the support of about 1200 fans in the stands.
The greens, who appeared quite changed, in relation to the match with Apollo with Henning Berg making six changes, started the game demanding and created 2-3 good opportunities.
Nevertheless, in the 19th minute, they found themselves back in the score in Basel's first offensive attempt. After a nice combination, the ball reached Kasami who made the play from the side with the ball on the crossbar and in the rebound Millar made it 1-0.
However, Omonia's response came quickly from a well-aimed penalty kick given to overthrow Cepovic by Kovert in the 27th minute. Gomez took the responsibility of execution, who was accurate, bringing the game to a draw (1-1).
The hosts, however, managed to get their heads in the score again, since in the 41st minute, the French referee Stephanie Frapar showed the white ball for Gometh's hand. Cabral defeated Ujoho and came 2-1.
At the start of the second half, Henning Berg made four changes, with Omonia still claiming and in 76 ′ he could do the damage again, but Kakoullis, who was alone, could not make an ideal finish after the cross of Kiko and the great opportunity was lost.
Finally, Basel, who had a goal in the 85th minute with Palacios, scored a third goal in the 88th minute, when after a mistake by Kiko in the quick counterattack, the ball reached Ziegrova who finished the phase and came to 3-1.
After the results of the match, Basel reached the seven points that Karabakh has, which prevailed with 2-1 over Kairat, while the latter, like Omonia, remained with a score of one point.
