First game, first victory. Defending champion FC Red Bull Salzburg got off to an ideal start to the new Bundesliga season with a 3-1 win at Wolfsberger AC.
And because of the way it was played, it was easier than initially supposed. “I learned that the games at Wolfsberg are not easy. We talked before the game that we have to be warriors on the field and ready for the fight,” RBS coach Jesse Marsch said on “Sky.”
But after less than half an hour the “policemen” were 2-0 up and one more man. WAC coach Ferdinand Feldhofer complains: “The feature film was not planned that way, a lot of things came together.”
But one after another.

A WAC begins to forget
The misery of the Carinthians began in the 16th minute. New signing Luka Lochoshvili dropped Patson Daka as the last man after a long tee shot and saw red. Feldhofer evaluates the scene differently: “Daka doesn’t even look at the ball, he collides with the defender. I would have fouled, but if you did, it doesn’t exist, so it’s a clear red card.”
The WAC had barely digested the impact when Eliel Peretz, another newcomer, put the ball into his own goal in the 21st minute. “Salzburg go ahead without their own shot on goal,” says Feldhofer. In fact, the “cops” hadn’t tried it before.
Daka’s door of dreams
The fact that the Mozartstadters’ victory is due, of course, not only to the bad luck of the home team, is proved by Salzburg’s second goal. Andreas Ulmer’s dream pass, Daka’s wonderful ball, a lift over WAC goalkeeper Kofler and then completed in the fall.
“Andi’s ball was amazing and Patson is like an acrobat,” says Marsch. Ulmer gave the striker the laurels: “Patson did a very, very good job taking the ball with him. He’s in great shape and we’re really happy he’s with us.”
Four goals in the first round of the cup, one goal at the start of the championship: Daka was able to maintain her good form during the summer holidays. In the previous season, the goalkeeper scored 27 goals in 45 competitive matches. “It’s always nice to do what you love. As a striker, I love scoring goals. My job is to help the team,” smiles the 21-year-old, who has long been on the wish lists of many major clubs. has played.
Feldhofer is also satisfied
In the second half, the WAC held up well. That is why Feldhofer is also satisfied: “I have seen many positive things. I am very proud of the boys, of what they have delivered in these conditions.”
While Carinthians aren’t saddened to death, Salzburgers aren’t cheering yet. “We’re not in top form yet, but that’s normal. We need more pace and more games,” Marsch said.
