With 27 goals and great victories from Salzburg, Rapid and Sturm Graz, football fans had extraordinary reason to celebrate in the fourth round of the Bundesliga. The Hütteldorfer were particularly happy, who thanks to their 3-0 home win against LASK, were able to shore up their position as the first pursuer of defending champion Red Bull Salzburg on Sunday. In fact, Upper Austria owed a lot three days after the great promotion of the Europa League at Sporting Lisbon (and without captain Gernot Trauner).
Altach’s team also had a hard time on the pitch, with their backs to the wall after a 4-0 draw against Sturm Graz and a point on the table. Sturm manager Christian Ilzer’s first win of the season was celebrated with more joy. “It is good to enter the international break with a feeling of accomplishment,” said the coach after the clear victory at home. But he’s only partially satisfied with the performance after four rounds. “We should score more than six points. The victory was very important, otherwise we would have been under pressure in terms of results.”
Not only was TSV Hartberg put under pressure, but he was crushed with a total score of 1: 7. And that despite the fact that three players of the Salzburg opponent had tested positive for the corona virus before the match began. Although in Salzburg there are still doubts about the origin of the infections, an infection in the European Cup against Maccabi Tel Aviv cannot be ruled out, the whole thing has consequences for the squad and also for the national team.
Foda has to nominate again
Because the Salzburg players are out of the question for Wednesday’s test match against Greece due to the Crown and need other protection, team boss Franco Foda has to urgently re-nominate. Four debutants could be honored: Sasa Kalajdzic has already received an engagement guarantee from Foda. But Marco Friedl, Maximilian Ullmann and Raphael Holzhauser can also look forward to their debut in the ÖFB jersey. The mission at the Wörthersee stadium will not be a walk in the park. After all, the national team has been waiting for a victory over the Hellenes since 1993. In the last four games, there was a draw with three losses. The last 2: 1 hit so far dates from March 10, 1993.(rel)
