Concern for injured Petretta: goalless draw against St. Gallen takes second place – Regional Sport (BZ) – Sport – resp

The game: For three years FCB have not won a home game against FC St. Gallen. The guests impressively show why this is so in the initial phase. Time and time again, the agile and fast men of St. Gallen at the front put the Basel team to shame. After two minutes, the omnipresent Boubacar Traore fails because of the strong Heinz Lindner. Soon after, Lukas Görtler failed, then Basil Stillhart failed because of Lindner. The first leg is broken after 15 minutes. Pajtim Kasami breaks free after a hair-raising mistake from the St. Gallen defense, but pushes the ball past the right post. As a result, the action calms down a bit, but the possibilities are not lacking. Arthur Cabral and Ricky van Wolfswinkel barely award this to the home team. Shortly before the break, Lindner has to save again against Traore. The lively first half is overshadowed by an injury to Raoul Petretta.

The second half begins with the opposite sign. FCB comes out of the catacombs better, squeezes the initial goal. But both Cabral and Edon Zhegrova fail because of Zigi at the St. Galler Tor. In the 57th minute, FCB had to get a bit of defensive luck as Boris Babic was free. In the final phase, St. Gallen is optically slightly superior, but Lindner also avoids the last attempts of the guests. The last golden opportunity is offered to the home team. But Jasper van der Werff only headed to the post in the 92nd minute. So it remains 0-0 based on performance.

The best: Heinz Lindner also justifies his nomination against St. Gallen. The guests shoot eight times on target, no shots go in. Although the guest attempts are all sustainable, Lindner still shines with calm, assurance, and quick reactions. The reward: For the second time he has not conceded a goal.

That gave something to talk about: When Raoul Petretta was suddenly stretched out on the ground for minutes after an aerial fight in the first half, football suddenly became a minor matter of no importance. The medical team cared for Basler for minutes, the players surrounded the injured, those present in the stadium held their breath. According to initial information, Petretta has injured himself in the neck area. He was always available and is currently in the emergency room of the Basel University Hospital.
