At 7:22 pm it’s done. The Young Boys defeated FC Basel 2-1 in the 95th Cup final and won their first cup in 33 years and their first double since 1958.
The Basler had been better at the game. Valentin Stocker first appeared in front of YB goalkeeper David von Ballmoos after just five minutes, and after just under half an hour the Basel captain cheered the supposed lead. The blow was taken off by Silvan Widmer’s offside position. Shortly before the break, FCB presented it. Omar Alderete headed a corner kick into goal and punished what had been a pomadic performance by the champions.
YB shows a reaction after the break
Gerardo Seoane’s team came out of the changing room much more actively and thanks to top scorer Jean-Pierre Nsame to equalize five minutes after the break. The Cameroonian completed a nice combination at various stations.
As a result, the Bernese remained the defining team of the game, but unable to play convincing chances. Then Guillaume Hoarau came along and almost became a hero in his last appearance for YB shortly after being replaced. The Frenchman’s shot hit the post. When everything was pointing to the penalty shootout, substitute Marvin Spielmann surprised FCB goalkeeper Djordje Nikolic with his shot in the 89th minute and scored the acclaimed second goal for Young Boys, who finally won the trophy again after years of bitter defeats and disappointments. be able to lift. Meanwhile, FCB missed coach Marcel Koller’s farewell gift in their last match. (sister)

What an exciting and competitive finale to the 2020 Swiss Cup! YB changes the game after an initial deficit and wins 2: 1. Marvin Spielmann scored the decisive goal just minutes before the end. In the 89th minute he shoots the Bernese to luck!
YB is making history with him, because he gets his first double in 62 years. The victory for the Bernese is fine due to the significant performance increase in the second half. For Basler, on the other hand, the season ended with another disappointment.
Thanks for reading and I wish you a pleasant Sunday night.

85. Minute
Post shot for YB! Surrogate Hoarau almost makes YB’s fairy tale perfect. However, her header lands on the post. Good luck for the FCB!
82. Minute
Bills of exchange followed in droves. In Basel Cömert he comes for Marchand, in YB Spielmann he comes for García and: Gerardo Seoane In fact, Hoarau still changes! YB Legend can still run for a few minutes!
80. Minute
After Ademi got tough the referee let go of the game, Ademi came to a conclusion himself. But von Ballmoos clarifies.
76. Minute
The last quarter of an hour has arrived. Due to the exceptional situation surrounding the coronavirus and the many matches associated with it, there would not be an extension, but a direct penalty shoot-out.
74. Minute
Ngamaleu wants a free kick and complains to the referee too loudly. There is yellow for that. A little later, Bals’ Van der Werff also sees yellow due to the jerk of the jersey.
Later we delivered the 1-0 for FCB by Alderete in minute 42:
69. Minute
Two yellow cards follow. First Ademi gets a little too hard for FCB, moments later Garcia also commits a foul for YB.

What an opportunity for FCB! Out of nowhere, the ball hits Petretta in the penalty area, who immediately wanders away. Von Ballmoos reacts brilliantly and can defend the ball from close range.

Double change now in YB: Sierro replaces Martins, Gaudino replaces Sulejmani. There have been no changes yet at FC Basel.
64. Minute
Van der Werff is in good position after a free kick. His header missed the goal.

And the Marchand I just mentioned is also at the center of the next scene: he stops his opponent against the rules and sees the yellow card.
59. Minute
So far we have seen a good performance in the Basel team from the 20-year-old Marchand. The young Swiss has already been able to avoid some counterattacks from YB and slow down his opponents.

Whatever Seoane gave his players at halftime, it seems to be working. The Bernese show a clear increase in performance and take over the dictation of the game. Basel is trying very hard to counter this.

Too much for YB! The second half begins with a bang! YB starts off engaged after the break and combines through the Basel penalty area. At the end of the ball series is Nsame, which you just need to insert. The game is relaunched.
49. Minute
Herber’s Damper for YB: Lustenberger grabs the bar and probably hurts himself in the first half. The Bernese presents the captain’s armband to Von Ballmoos. Zesiger takes over.
