The away side conceded a great deal of possession to their hosts but still found time to fire off 15 shots at goal and matched their Swiss opponents in terms of efforts on target but still had nothing to show for their trip to St. Jakob-Park.
Mario Balotelli and Raheem Sterling were wasteful in front of goal and the key moment came early into the second half when Simon Mignolet parried an effort directly into the path of powerful forward Marco Streller who fired home.
