Valentin Stocker scored four minutes from time to give Basle a famous 1-0 victory over Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League clash at St Jakob-Park.
Stocker was left unmarked to slot the ball between Manuel Neuer's legs in a match where neither defence covered itself in glory.
The first half was breathless with both sides coming close and Basle twice hitting the woodwork but it was the Swiss side who eventually prevailed to take a narrow lead to Munich.
And there was another late winner to give the home side a 1-0 advantage in the night's other clash.
Andre Ayew's header with the last touch earned Marseille a first-leg victory over Inter Milan to pile the pressure on coach Claudio Ranieri.
Inter were improved from the side that went down 3-0 to Bologna on Friday for their third straight home defeat, but still looked sluggish at times and there were clear signs of anxiety as their woeful run continues.
