Match summary
The Final was played on 7 June 2015 Basel against Sion and with an attendance of 35,674 fans the St. Jakob-Park was sold out. Referee was Nikolaj Hänni. An ex-Basler was the match winner for Sion. The Portuguese technical genius Carlitos played the two deadly passes into the depth, which led to the 1–0 by goal getter Moussa Konaté on 18 minutes and the 2–0 by Edimilson Fernandes on 50 minutes. Carlitos himself scored the goal for the 3–0 final result after an hours play. He scored after a cross from Elsad Zverotić with a diving header.[4]
Conclusion
The FC Sion cup myth is alive more than ever after this final, because they celebrated their 13th victory in their 13th final of this knockout competition. Sion didn’t give their opponents a chance, even playing in their own stadium. The 13th Cup triumph will forever have a special place in the club’s history. The Red-Whites have never been able to win a cup final so clearly and the fact that this was achieved with the strongest Super League club over the previous years was astonishing and impressive at the same time.[5]
