The regrets will be immense for OGC Nice. Hooked late in the first leg in Switzerland (2-2), the Aiglons had done everything well on the return, Thursday, April 20, by taking their advantage in the score, acquired by Gaëtan Laborde at the start of the match, until the 85th minute. And everything collapsed, with a defeat in overtime (1-2).

Harmless for most of the match, the Swiss relied on a Frenchman to offer themselves hope. Five minutes from time, Jean-Kévin Augustin came to shoot Kasper Schmeichel to wake up the people of Basel. Pushed into overtime, the Niçois could never recover and finally cracked on a header from Kasim Adams (98th). There is no longer a French representative in the European Cup this season.
