Basel 4-2 Thun result, stats and report

St. Gallen took all three points at Basel despite being comprehensively outshot, winning 3-1 in a result that tells you everything about clinical finishing versus wasted opportunity. Basel created more, threatened more, and still lost. Unacceptable.

Thun claimed all three points at Vaduz on Sunday, winning 2-1 in the Swiss Super League thanks to a dominant second-half display, while the hosts self-destructed with five yellow cards and a performance that raised serious questions about their basic standards.

Servette came from behind to beat Thun 4-2, with Fabio Saiz grabbing two goals for the hosts before Servette's clinical second-half display, capped by David Datro Fofana, settled it. Thun had 60% possession and 17 shots but converted just two of them. That is your problem right there.

Xherdan Shaqiri scored twice in the second half to put the game beyond Luzern, as Basel ran out comfortable 4-2 winners in the Swiss Super League despite the home side hitting the woodwork and generating more shots overall.

Samuele Bengondo's 23rd-minute finish gave Grasshopper all three points at Thun, with the visitors holding firm despite heavy home pressure and a dominant display on the ball from the hosts.

Young Boys led twice and dominated large portions of the match but could not hold Basel out, as a 3-3 draw at home left points on the table and serious defensive questions unanswered.

Two teams who cannot keep a clean sheet between them meet on Sunday. Something has to give, and the evidence says it will probably be both defences at once.

Two of the Swiss Super League's leakiest defences meet on Saturday. Someone has to lose. The question is how many goals it takes to get there.
