Defeat against RB Salzburg

With a system change to a 4-4-2 with a diamond in the midfield, Thorsten Fink tried to stand against Red Bull Salzburg. Jens Stryger Larsen recovered in time and started on his usual position right in the back. The usual pair of wingers Lucas Venuto and Felipe Pires stayed on the bench for the time being, Dominik Prokop started at the front midfield position, Raphael Holzhauser behind him. Alexander Grünwald started on the left, Tarkan Serbest on the right. Larry Kayode and Kevin Friesenbichler formed the striker-duo.

Goalless first half

It took almost 12 minutes, before the first shot was fired in the ice-cold Ernst-Happel-Stadium. Osman Hadzikic had no troubles with Dabbur's attempt from the penalty area. Dabbur tried again just a few seconds later, but missed the goal (12'). The “Violets” replied with a great chance by Friesenbichler, who headed a perfect cross form Kayode on the goal, but not past Walke (19').

Miranda headed the ball after a corner past the long corner (21'). A long shot from Samassekou went by as well (33'). A shot from Lazaro was blocked to a corner and that’s how a relatively uneventful first half came to an end.

Second half with goals - unfortunately on the wrong side

The second half started badly, Christoph Martschinko pushed Berisha's pass into the own goal - 0:1 (47'). Hwang, substitute for the injured Gulbransen during the first half, made the way for Berisha in the back but his shot went over the goal (50'). Kayode did similar and also hauled the ball over. (55'). The “Violets” were lucky in minute 57 when Jens Stryger Larsen cleared a shot from Dabbur on the line and Berisha hit the bar right after. But Salzburg’s Konrad Laimer was lucky - after a double pass with Lazaro he scored – 0:2 (64').

Thorsten Fink brought Venuto for Prokop as well as Richard Windbichler for Petar Filipovic, and also changed the game system again. Shortly after, Windbichler prepared the first connecting goal for FK Austria Wien: The defense player brought a corner from Holzhauser towards the goal, Larry Kayode extended to the 1:2 (70').

Hwang wasted a huge chance for the guests, for the defeated Hadzikic, Windbichler made the save on the line (74'). A free-kick from Alexander Grünwald was parried by Walke (81'). In minute 86, in the middle of heavy snow, Minamino scored the deciding goal – 1:3. Hadzikic, who turned Hwang's header over the bar (90'+5'), made the final effort.

FK Austria Wien - FC Red Bull Salzburg 1:3 (0:0)
