 FC basel,who drew 2-2 in london last week, also played a
2-2 draw in front of their home fans before beaten them 4-1 in a penalty shootout.

FC basel immediately answer them after four minutes when salah fired home pass friedel

Then basel starts leading when Dragovic was on hand to slot home after friedel had tried to save Schar's flick-on

Tottenham fought back again,with Dempsey scoring Tom Huddlestone's clever chipped ball in the 82nd minute

That made the sore line 4-4 on aggregate,forcing the match into extra-time

 Tottenham were made to battle out the 30 minutes of extra-time a man down and although they got that far, it ended in the spot-kick competition with Huddlestone having his effort saved and Emmanuel Adebayor completely miscuing as Basel converted four times through Schar, Streller, Fabian Frei and Marcelo Diaz to move into the final four.
