  • 40'
    Elyounoussi shoots low across goal from out on the left but Bravo is down to make the save.

    Sane is furious to not be awarded a corner after getting past his man and crossing once again down the left but the ball is adjudged to have crossed the line before he put it into the box.
  • 21'
    Plenty of the ball once again for City following that goal, but Basel do appear to have grown in confidence.

    GOAL! BASEL! ELYOUNOUSSI! The Swiss side attack down the left and Bua's low cross deflects into the path of Elyounoussi who takes a touch before rifling home low from just inside the box. They couldn't could they?
