Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Mirko Salvi's eight saves earned Basel a 1-0 away win against Servette FC in the Super League, a result that keeps them in touch with the top half of the table. The visitors were second best for long spells but found a way through when it mattered most.

The match turned on a single moment in the 78th minute, when Žan Celar struck unassisted to give Basel the lead against the run of play. Servette had dominated the first half with 58% possession and 11 shots, yet could not find a way past Salvi, and their second-half output dwindled to just six attempts as Basel grew into the contest.

Servette controlled the numbers with 57% possession, 17 shots and eight corners, yet Basel's xG of 1.61 told a truer story of efficiency—the visitors created the better chances despite having less of the ball. Mirko Salvi was the standout with an 8.5 rating in goal, repelling everything Servette threw at him. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Servette, but the prediction was wrong; Basel's clinical edge and Salvi's brilliance decided the game.
