Egypt winger Salah brilliantly set up Valentin Stocker with the opening goal after a clever cut-back pass that left the latter with the easy task of steering home on 31 minutes.

The second goal was scored by defender Aleksandar Dragovic just before half time.

Basel remain leaders, six points ahead of Grasshoppers, who are playing against Zurich.
