On February 17, 2013, in the 20th round of the Swiss Super League, Basel faced Lausanne away.

Basel head coach Hawky. Vogel rotated most of the main force.

However, Jiang Chenxi is still in the starting list.

The commentators and the media were not at all surprised that Volger had replaced most of his players.

After that tough game against Malaga, the players need to rotate and rest.

However, Jiang Chenxi, as the team's top scorer, did not rotate, which surprised them a little.

They thought that Jiang Chenxi would sit on the bench in this game, and even rest in the stands.

However, it didn't take long for them to understand why.

……

Jiang Chenxi opened the scoring for Basel in the first half, quickly tearing open the Lausanne goal for Basel on the road. Adili and Philip. Degen scored separately, and at the end of the first half, Basel had already taken a 3-0 lead to seal the win.

At the beginning of the second half, Jiang Chenxi was replaced by Streller.

Basel coach Vogel used this substitution to tell everyone his arrangement and intentions, just let Jiang Chenxi play the first half of the game, everything will be done, and then the team's top scorer can rest.

In the end, Basel won 3-1 away at Lausanne.

At the end of this round, Basel continued to lead the Swiss Super League standings, six points ahead of second-placed Grasshoppers.

The difference between the two teams is 6 points!

In this game, the two sides face off directly, this is a one-in, one-out 6-point contest!

The Swiss media even directly stated that this match will be enough to affect the ownership of the Swiss Super League title this season:

If Basel wins, they will be nine points ahead of the Grasshoppers, extending their lead further and further losing the suspense of the Swiss Super League title.

And if the Grasshoppers can win away from home, they will only be three points behind Basel, and the suspense of the league title will increase dramatically.

……

Thirty-fifth minute of the game.

Salah made a pass after breaking down the flank, and his pass was rubbed by the defender's outstretched foot, with an irregular line change.

Grasshopper defender Darcourt originally followed Jiang Chenxi to the football landing point, but the direction of the football suddenly changed, and the defenders were caught off guard.

What he didn't expect was that Jiang Chenxi was able to stop sharply in the high-speed forward insertion and re-fold to intersperse.

Darcourt was shocked and wanted to chase after him again, but it was too late.

Jiang Chenxi stabbed his toes at the rolling football.

The goalkeeper of the Grasshopper team didn't expect Jiang Chenxi to be able to complete the point-grabbing shot under such circumstances, so when the football swept towards the goal at a rapid speed, he didn't react at all, he could only watch the football roll over, and didn't make any moves: he just watched the football fly into his goal......

……

“GOAL！ GOAL！ GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Nice point-grabbing stab! River! River! He's scored!! ”

"Jiang completely got rid of Ko Kot's shot in the process of this point-grabbing shot, and even if the cross was refracted, he was able to capture the route of the football for the first time and complete the fatal blow!!"

"Salah's cross was blocked, changing the rolling route, but with such a goal, Jiang showed us why his ability to shoot from the spot is so good!"

……

Basel fans in the stands also jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and chanting.

The whole stadium was cheering for the Chinese player's surname!

For Basel fans, the happiest thing now is to come to the team's home stadium to watch the game: watch Jiang Chenxi score!
