0:5-defeat in Salzburg

For the “Violets” a victory would have been the chance to overtake SCR Altach and take second place in the league table. Coach Thorsten Fink trusted the winning-eleven from last week and did not make any changes – again Thomas Salamon represented Christoph Martschinko, who is still recovering. Salzburg coach Oscar Garcia changed his team on several positions: Wisdom, Lazaro and Oberlin slipped in the starting line-up for Caleta-Car, Minaminu and Hwang.

Austria predominant, Salzburg takes the lead

Thrilling, racy, fast-paced - the 10,187 spectators in Wals-Siezenheim got to see a great game from the start, which was dominated mainly by the “Violets”. In the initial phase the Viennese have almost 75% ball possession, win two thirds of the duels and combine quickly and directly to the top. The first big opportunity came after a corner: Tarkan Serbest comes to a header standing completely free but fires just wide (15'). Shortly after another corner almost ended with an own goal by Andreas Ulmer. The biggest opportunity for the “Violets” is forgiven by Captain Alexander Grünwald: Jens Stryger Larsen made a perfect pass but his shot goes over the goal from the penalty spot.

After this initial offensive, the hosts find better into the game. Over Wisdom the ball ends with Lazaro, who runs out Lukas Rotpuller, but his dangerous shot ends in the arms of Osman Hadzikic. Shortly after Dimitri Oberlin goes down during a duel with Raphael Holzhauser in FK Austria’s penalty area. Referee Manuel Schüttengruber decides against a penalty shot - a lucky decision.

Then the lead for RB Salzburg: Laimer sets up for Berisha, who is left alone in the penalty area and Salzburg scores with their first shot on goal. (33')

In minute 42 the equalizer, which wasn’t one: After foul on Venuto, Larry Kayode headed a free-kick from Holzhauser in the net, the referee however had seen him standing offside. With a great performance, but deficit the half-time break starts.

The second half has just started when Hadzikic had to fish the ball out of the net again: first Felipe Pires stumbled over the ball in a promising position. In the new set-up, a ball loss by Tarkan Serbest, Ulmer made the journey past Larsen and pushes with right into the long corner – 2:0. A shock for the “Violets” immediately after kick-off.

As a result, the “Bulls” managed to get the game under control more and more. The only chance to make the game exciting again came from Larry Kayode: His header after a nice cross from Venuto however passes the goal (66')

In the final phase, however, one thing followed another

• Minute 78: South Korean Hwang, who came into the game before, scored the 3:0 during a counterattack.
• Minute 84: Hwang set up for Radosevic, who also just came into the game – 4:0.
• The final goal again by Hwang, who scores after a square pass from Lainer – 5:0 (90').
