Ghana's Kasim Adams scored an extra time winner to send Swiss side FC Basel into the semi finals of the UEFA Conference League with a 2-1 win over French club Nice.
After a 1-1 result in the Allianz Riviera in France which put the tie 3-3 on aggregate, the game headed to extra time to determine the winner.
Adams delivered the decider, neatly heading home a lofty cross from midfielder Darian Males to secure a 2-1 win on the night and progress 4-3 on aggregate with the first leg having ended 2-2 last week in Switzerland.
They will now face Italian side Fiorentina in the last four.
Nice took the lead in the game at the Allianz Reviera through French forward Gaetan Laborde in the early minutes of the match with Wales star Aaron Ramsey providing the assist.
Basel pulled parity four minutes from full-time after substitute Jean-Kevin Augustin got the ball behind the net, which sent the game to extra time.
Adams scored the match-winner eight minutes into extra time after sweetly heading home a lofted cross from midfielder Darian Males.
Ghana U23 midfielder Emmanuel Essiam played a part in the game for Basel after he was brought on in the 106th minute when he replaced Taulant Xhaka.
