Basler conceded 3 goals in the final 20 minutes and lost 3-1 at home to CSKA Sofia. This means that FCB does not enter the group stage of the Europa League.
Lost opportunity
FC Basel played away from CSKA Sofia after a 1-0 lead in the final 20 minutes to advance to the Europa League group stage.
KEYSTONE
Contested duel
CSKA Sofia were the long-awaited stubborn opponent who left the Basel team little room to develop. Despite a slight increase in chances and playful advantages, the Basel team failed to score in the first half.
KEYSTONE
When Bulgarian Tiago scored his second goal in the 88th minute, Ciriaco Sforza just swerved. And with the third, through Ahmedov in injury time, he does not react at all. The FC Basel coach, who was already commenting on everything during an entire match, was silent.
FCB lost 3-1 to CSKA Sofia in the final qualifying round after taking the lead after 54 minutes from a Cabral penalty. This is the second time that the Basel team has missed the European group stage in the third qualifying campaign with owner Bernhard Burgener. This failure comes at a time when the relationship between the fans and the club’s management is already broken.
The victory against Sofia would have been worth a good six million euros. FCB would have won at least that much in the Europa League, regardless of how successful they had played from the group stage. In addition, this season the players lack the scenario in which they could have played for a change in a difficult transfer time.
A victory against Sofia would also have helped to forget the bad start to the season. Now that FCB no longer participates at the international level, the five points lost in two Superliga games are of great importance.

CSKA Sofia
Playing
Over and over again: The Europa League adventure comes to an end in an extremely upsetting way for FC Basel.
96. Minute
Another goal for Sofia: Ahmedov enters.
95. Minute
Nerves are now on the edge: Youga and Cömert collect the yellow card.
93. Minute
FCB has four minutes left to equalize and make the extra time. Basel is now pulling everything forward.
91. Minute
Next change in FCB: Bunjaku leaves, Campo enters. Stocker also leaves the place, Kalulu comes for him.
88. Minute
That cannot be true: again it is Tiago Rodrigues, whose free kick is deflected by the wall and lands in the goal.
87. Minute
Alderete fouled Sankharé just outside the area. A controversial scene, which shouldn’t have been whistled.
That could be very dangerous now.
86. Minute
Delicate scene for FCB: Free with the loss of the ball in front of the penalty area, but Cömert can stop Sowe in the last second.
84. Minute
Sowe once again shows his qualities, but his flank towards the center is still harmless. With the exception of the goal, the Basel defense does a good job today.
82. Minute
Van Wolfswinkel runs equally well in depth. Your pass in the middle will not find a buyer, but that has to be the address for FCB.
81. Minute
Both will be fixed, Antov will put a bandage around his head and will continue to play with a turban. Fortunately, things seem to be continuing for van Wolfswinkel as well.
79. Minute
Bad confrontation between van Wolfswinkel and Antov. The Dutchman lies down in a daze, the Bulgarian has a laceration on his head.
77. Minute
Now the FCB also changes for the first time: Cabral leaves the field, enters Zhegrova.
75. Minute
Somehow that had become apparent, after the goal, Basler retreated more and more to his own half and acted more and more passive. Now you have to turn the switch back on! They have already shown that they have gaming advantages.
73. Minute
CSKA Sofia goal! Substitute Tiago Rodrigues is not attacked on the edge of the area and hits the ball with precision into the goal, with no chance for Nikolic.
70. Minute
FCB once again had the ball a bit more, finally Van Wolfswinkel was fouled. Stocker’s free kick then lands directly at Busatto’s hands.
68. Minute
Another spectacular scene from Sowe, but his aerial kick doesn’t reach the door. The Bulgarians are now increasingly on the offensive, which will make room for Basel’s counterattack.
66. Minute
Mazikou is the third Bulgarian to collect the yellow card.
65. Minute
Dangerous situation in front of Nikolic, Sowe does not hit the ball correctly with his lateral pull. The people of Basel must remain vigilant.
63. Minute
Stocker’s ball finds van Wolfswinkel’s head, but the Dutchman cannot push him into goal: goal kick for the Bulgarians.
