Upper Austria sold at high prices. Julian Wießmeier’s connecting gate was still too small (83). After their ninth competitive win in all seasons, Salzburg is the only team that has yet to lose points and welcomes Maccabi Tel Aviv to the play-off (first leg: 2: 1) for the premier class on Wednesday (9pm). ) with a sense of accomplishment. With three points, Ried is in the low midfield.
After the guest appearance in Tel Aviv (2: 1), Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch put into rotation as announced, made seven changes to the starting lineup. While the 2,700 spectators at the Innviertel could only admire Salzburg stars Dominik Szoboszlai and Patson Daka after an hour, they were able to see 18-year-old debutant Luka Sucic on his feet from the start.
Salzburg triumph over Ried
The defending champion Salzburg remains without losing points. The “Bulls” celebrate a 3-1 away win against the promoted Ried.
The initial phase belongs to Ried
“The little one always has a chance against the big one,” Ried’s coach Gerald Baumgartner said before the game. The man from Salzburg was right. Because the beginning with a series of corner kicks and the first opportunity as well as the final phase belonged to his team. Salzburg goalkeeper Cican Stankovic had to use a powerful but central shot from Marco Grüll to defend his fist (4th).
After that, the favorite set the tone for the newcomer. Statistics showed phases of around 75 percent ball possession, but as many as eight “Vikings” often successfully blocked the penalty area. From the middle of the first half, the champions discovered the wing play, the two forwards Berisha (28º / next, 41º / outside post) and Koita (33º / additional shot, 33º / outside net) came close.
Leadership before the break
The lead fell in injury time: after a pass from Ulm, Berisha defeated Samuel Sahin-Radlinger from close range. Luca Meisl had previously lifted the offside position. Salzburg Academy graduate Meisl was also the focus of the second goal in the 53rd minute: his interception against Koita landed on the run of Berisha, who again scored above Sahin-Radlinger.
Rieder, who then risked a bit more, cut back almost in the 69th minute. Wöber misjudged himself, but then fixed against substitute Seth Paintsil. The “bulls” did not save themselves from a shaky finish after missing half chances. Valentin Grubeck made a “wild card” combination on Wießmeier, who passed the ball past Stankovic and into the goal (83rd).
Turbulent final phase
The turbulent final phase then brought chances to both sides, but with great effort the Salzburg team brought in the “three” over time. Stankovic closed the short corner in a remarkable attempt by Grüll (94th). On the other hand, Daka practically scored with the final whistle after Ashimeru-Solo (97th).
Voices for the game:
Gerald Baumgartner (Ried’s coach): “We are not yet ready to attack with the team and play more offensively. That’s why we chose a defensive concept for the first half. In the second half we made an offensive change. If you take Salzburg into the routine of time, you have done a lot of good. But we have to see that we improve from week to week. Against Admira we have to make sure that we also get the points we need to stay in the league. “
Jesse Marsch (Salzburg coach): “It was not our best performance. We had a lot of turnover, it was still pretty good. The difference in temperature compared to Tel Aviv allowed us to play with more power. But that wasn’t easy against an opponent who defended deeply and played smart. The movement of the ball was too slow in the first half. The victory was important, but of course we can do some things better. “
Mergim Berisha (Salzburg forward, double scorer): “I am happy to have won again as a team, that’s what counts mainly for me. We did very well, except in the final phase. We have to analyze that and do better on Wednesday. “
