Mohamed Dräger, the Tunisian international, etched his name on the scoresheet for the second time this season in the Swiss Super League, solidifying FC Basel’s position in the top tier of Swiss football.
FC Basel’s triumph over FC Stade Lausanne Ouchy with a convincing 2-0 scoreline ensures their presence in the elite division for the forthcoming season.
Positioned second in the Play-outs phase, Basel now enjoys an eight-point cushion over Grasshopper, the nearest contenders for a play-off spot, with only two matches remaining in the season.
Entering the fray as a substitute in the latter stages of the match, Dräger made an instant impact by breaking the deadlock for his side with a crucial goal deep into added time (90+6th minute).
Albian Ajeti had earlier set the stage for Basel’s victory with an opener in the 63rd minute.
This marks Dräger’s second goal of the season in the Swiss championship, with his previous strike coming against Yverdon Sport on November 5, 2023, in a 2-1 victory.
The 27-year-old right back has been a consistent presence for Basel, featuring in 20 league matches this season and proving his versatility by finding the back of the net on multiple occasions.
With his impactful performance drawing attention, Dräger could find himself in contention for a call-up to the Tunisian national team for their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying fixtures against Equatorial Guinea and Namibia.
As Basel celebrates their secured status in the Swiss Super League, Dräger’s contributions serve as a testament to his importance to the team’s success.
