Sion hold champions to a draw (incl video highlights)
Laurent Roussey team were again denied the use of six summer signings but that didn’t stop them from going ahead three times.
The draw keeps Sion a point ahead of Basel and sitting in third place in the table after four matches.
Almost 28,000 fans were in Basel’s St Jakob Stadium to witness four goals in the opening 25 minutes with Vilmos Vanczák and Dos Santos Adailton Jose on target for the visitors.
Star striker Giovanni Sio looked to have given Sion the points with a goal in the 80th minute but Adison Cabral, a substitute for Alexander Frei, equalised in injury time for Basel.
Next Saturday Sion are at home to second placed Luzern before travelling to Glasgow for the first leg against Celtic.
