An own goal by Eliel Peretz (21st) and a goal by Patson Daka (27th) led Salzburg, who competed without Zlatko Junuzovic, with a thigh injury, on their way to victory in the first half hour. The Zambian forward continued the previous season without problems, scoring 24 goals. “Joker” Sekou Koita (82nd) made the final decision.
The Carinthians were outnumbered for much of the game after an early suspension for a goal steal from Luka Lochoshvili. Georgian defender Lochoshvili and Israeli striker Peretz experienced a completely unsuccessful debut in WAC attire. On the other hand, Dario Vizinger could expect a successful one. The 22-year-old Croat, who came on as a substitute in the 75th minute, scored the consolation goal in the 93rd.
Salzburg celebrates victory against WAC
Masters Salzburg started the new season successfully. Salzburg celebrated a victory against WAC at the beginning.
Exclusion works
In the first quarter of an hour, the two teams met in front of the eyes of the ÖFB team boss, Franco Foda, at eye level. That suddenly changed in the 16th minute, when Lochoshvili rightly saw the red card after a duel with Daka for stealing goals. The game then proceeded as if on a slope in the direction of the WAC goal.
The tour was not long in coming. After Szoboszlai crossed, Peretz brought the ball into his own goal during a punt attempt as part of a duel with Daka. Strong Daka scored the second goal himself, following an ideal cross from Ulmer, 21-year-old WAC goalkeeper Alexander Kofler stepped forward and scored the empty goal. Shortly before the break, the third goal was still in the air with a free kick from Szoboszlai (45th).
Wac in front of the door with no luck
That was also the case shortly after the restart, this time Daka finished at close range after a good preparatory work from Kristensen but close to the goal (48th). As a result, the WAC at least stayed in the game and almost achieved the tracking goal. However, double bad luck prevented it. After a sensational run from his own field, Cheikhou Dieng surprised Salzburg goalkeeper Cican Stankovic almost with a shot from the crossbar (56th). In the same minute, forward Dominik Baumgartner also hit the aluminum casing after a Liendl corner.
For a long time it was the home team’s only significant offensive loot. Salzburg were closer to the third goal, Luka Susic, 18, did not hit the ball correctly from six meters shortly after his replacement in the league debut (63.). Substitute Koita, who defeated Kofler with a left-foot shot from 20 yards, was more efficient.
The final point was reserved for the hosts: Vizinger profited from a Wöber mistake and showed his scoring qualities in the last action of the game. However, after two draws in the 2019/20 championship group against Salzburg, this time there were no points for the WAC.
Voices for the game
Ferdinand Feldhofer (WAC coach): “We had a very good start, we continued with the plan, I was very satisfied. The action with the red card was clearly decisive for the match. No reproach to Luka Lochoshvili. The referee whistled very meanly before that, in this case not when Daka fouled. We did very well in the next 75 minutes. That shows how strong and determined this team is. The fact that the two shots went to pole and not her was with the game. It is very gratifying that a new forward, Dario Vizinger, has scored immediately. “
Jesse March (Salzburg coach): “Congratulations to the WAC. They played very well, intensely against the ball, we played well, it was not a great performance. Getting three points here is always difficult. Obviously the red card helped, but we deserved it. It was a good start for our boys. Andreas Ulmer’s pass to Patson Daka was perfect. For me it was a clear red card, because otherwise Daka would have been in and out. “
