Urs Fischer was pleased Basel “played on a par with a very strong team” like Fiorentina, who were down to 10 men.
Facundo Roncaglia got himself sent off after just 27 minutes for lashing out an elbow on Breel Embolo, but the Viola still went 2-0 up until the eventual 2-2 draw.
“We made too many mistakes and conceded goals in a naïve manner,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“We made too many mistakes and conceded goals in a naïve manner,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“The team showed character to fight back and we played on a par with a very strong team. I am in any case satisfied with the squad, as we were able to draw after going 2-0 down against a top team like Fiorentina.
“This result gives us a boost. Qualification was our primary objective, but the Final is a long way off.”
The Europa League Final will be played in Basel’s home stadium in May 2016.
