Asane Sow delivered a masterclass at St. Jakob-Park, directly contributing to all four Basel goals in a 4-2 victory over FC Thun. The midfielder finished with two strikes and two assists, the kind of complete performance that earns a maximum 10.0 rating from the data.
Thun had no answer. Every time Basel broke forward, Sow seemed to be at the heart of it, either finishing moves himself or setting up teammates in dangerous positions. Four goal involvements from midfield is rare at any level; doing it while maintaining tactical discipline and pressing work makes the numbers even more striking.
Basel's attack flowed through him. His movement between the lines created constant problems, and Thun's defensive shape never adjusted. When he wasn't on the scoresheet, he was threading passes into space for others to convert. The home side controlled proceedings from the opening whistle, but it was Sow's individual quality that turned dominance into goals.
Thun managed two of their own, preventing a complete shutout, but by that stage the result was never in doubt. Sow had already done the damage, and Basel were cruising.
Performances like this tend to draw attention. Four direct goal contributions in a single match put him level with the league's top attackers for output, except he's doing it from a deeper starting position. The data captures every touch, every movement off the ball, every creative action. This was one of those nights where everything clicked.
