Austria makes one point against Salzburg during the very last second

Coach Thorsten Fink bet on Patrick Pentz. After two short appearances (in each case against WAC) Michael Blauensteiner was able to play against Red Bull Salzburg in the back five – his starting line-up debut. Raphael Holzhauser returned after his suspension, the captain should stabilize the defensive. Felipe Pires and Thomas Salamon formed the wingback, while Jinhyun Lee and Christoph Monschein replaced Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and Kevin Friesenbichler in the offensive.

Salzburg coach Marco Rose made four changes to his team, after his close victory against Mattersburg: Yabo, Samassekou, Minamino and Hwang replaced Haidara, Schlager, Rzatkowski and Gulbrandsen.

Clear winner of the first half: Pentz

Both teams began the game cautiously, FK Austria Wien was looking for defensive stability, Salzburg’s offensive started stuttering. Jinhyun Lee made the first shot but missed the goal (13'). Hwang couldn’t utilize a cross by Dabbur (14'). After a corner, Christoph Monschein tried a shot out of a turn, but fired wide (21'). Afterwards, Salzburg picked up the speed: Patrick Pentz parried a shot by Yabo (23'), Dabbur only met the outer net after assist by Berisha (24'). Patrick Pentz was again on the spot after a shot by Ulmer (28'), Hwang also failed in a one-on-one duel against our young goalkeeper (32').

FK Austria Wien could hardly get out of their own half but their defence was mostly strong. Berisha shot over the goal from the edge of the penalty area (43'), Patrick Pentz defused a finish by Hwang after assist by Dabbur (44'). A mistake in the build-up resulted in the same image during stoppage time: Again a steep pass by Dabbur on Hwang - again Pentz parried (45' + 1'). Goalless the teams went into the dressing rooms.

Ulmer gave the “Bulls” the lead, Monschein equalized!

The second half began as the first had ended: Dabbur passes - Hwang finishes–Pentz parries (48'). Our goalie continued to be in the spotlight, against Yabo the 20-year-old was the winner again (51'). After 15 minutes during the second half, the “Violets” began to be braver, a lob by Salamon landed with Walke (59'). Felipe Pires put on a great solo, his finish from promising position went over the goal (60').

After that, it was Salzburg’s move again, Berisha failed on Pentz (62'). After assist by Hwang Minamino missed from close range (71'). Ibrahim Alhassan sent a great pass by Lee to Dominik Prokop, our number 16 missed the biggest chance for the “Violets” (74'). A finish by Pires was deflected to a corner (76').

For a long time, Austria Wien was able to hold up well against Red Bull Salzburg, but unfortunately the “Bulls” took the lead in the 79^th minute with a shot by Andreas Ulmer from an acute angle. Thorsten Fink risked everything and brought Kevin Friesenbichler and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi for the closing minutes, Venuto celebrated his comeback after 224 days of an injury-related break. Dabbur missed the last chance for RB Salzburg (90' + 1'), then Christoph Monschein scored during the last seconds: Alhassan extended a long pass by Holzhauser, Monschein won over Caleta-Car and slammed the ball under the crossbar - 1-1 (90' + 4'). After that Oliver Drachta whistled to a close, Austria Wien won a point against the champion.
