FK Austria Wien makes one point in Salzburg

Thorsten Fink's line-up was characterized by several injuries: Osman Hadzikic could not play because of an injury on the sole of his foot, Patrick Pentz started for him. Tarkan Serbest began in the internal defense alongside Abdul Kadiri Mohammed. Raphael Holzhauser started in the defensive midfield. Dominik Prokop, Ibrahim Alhassan Abdullahi, Jinhyun Lee and Felipe Pires began in the offensive. Christoph Monschein was sick which made Kevin Friesenbichler the solo striker.

Red Bull Salzburg also had some absentees, but Miranda celebrated a comeback in the internal defense. Even Andreas Ulmer stood in the starting line-up despite adductor problems.

Patrick Pentz - the man without nerves!

At the beginning of the game, Salzburg put pressure on Austria, but the “Violets” were not intimidated and had the first chance in minute 7: Kevin Friesenbichler was blocked after a cross by Dominik Prokop. Caleta-Car headed after a corner, but did not hit the ball well enough (8'). Patrick Pentz turned a free-kick from Berisha over the bar (17'), the goalie was also on the spot after a shot by Dabbur (19').

The “Violets” became dangerous from a standard situation, a header from Friesenbichler after a free-kick by Holzhauser parried Walke (26'). Caleta-Car missed the goal after a free-kick by Berisha (28'), Pentz saved against Gulbrandsen in a one-on-one duel (29'). Haidara had the best chance during the game so far, but luckily he missed the goal (38'). Patrick Pentz deflected a shot from Berisha (44') and was very attentive during Gulbrandsen's last chance (45'). Goalless the half time break started.

More opportunities for the hosts, point for the “Violets”!

The “Violets” started confidently in the second half, after a free-kick by Holzhauser and a cross by Lee, Friesenbichler headed but did not put enough pressure behind the ball (47'). Much stronger was a shot from the striker shortly after - Walke parried (48'). Pentz was in the spotlight again: Wolf came rather by chance to a finish, Pentz saved beautifully, Gulbrandsen's shot from short distance went over the goal (54').

Thorsten Fink brought David de Paula for Jinhyun Lee, the Spaniard should calm down the game in the midfield. Red Bull Salzburg had a bit more ball possession, Austria held against it with 57% won duels. Miranda headed after a free-kick by Ulmer over the goal, just as Kadiri after a free-kick by Holzhauser (73', 76'). Daka, who replaced Gulbrandsen missed a cross by Ulmer (79'). Patrick Pentz saved after a free-kick from Bersiha from the corner and crowned his excellent performance this afternoon (81'). After a corner, Caleta-Car had another chance to score but missed the goal (83').

Ismael Tajouri-Shradi came in for Dominik Prokop. After the change of sides the Viennese did not show much in the offensive. A shot by Felipe Pires was the exception in the minute 91. In the defense Austria did not let anything through. The “Violets” were pleased with one point in Salzburg.
