Rapid also corrected the debacle at home 7-2 against the defending champs last June. However, the Greenish-Whites only managed one victory out of the last 20 competitive duels with Mozart’s people. In the table, the leader Salzburg is still two points ahead of the second classified Rapid.
His coach Dietmar Kühbauer had to do without Marcel Ritzmaier (sick), Taxiarchis Fountas (metacarpal fracture) and Filip Stojkovic (hand injury). Ercan Kara and Yusuf Demir initially sat on the bench. With the exception of Patson Daka (muscle injury), Salzburg manager Jesse Marsch had no significant losses to complain about on his 47th birthday and after 2: 6 in the Champions League against Bayern he did not rotate.
Draw between Rapid and Salzburg
There was no winner in the hit of the round. Rapid and Salzburg split 1: 1. For Salzburg it was the first loss of points this season.
Classic appeal in Hütteldorf
However, the people of Mozart’s city had slight problems in the initial phase. Rapid was compact on defense and put punctures in urgent situations. However, the hosts had no convincing chances. A shot from Knasmüllner was safe prey for Salzburg goalkeeper Cican Stankovic (11th), Kelvin Arase (19th) and Dejan Ljubicic (21st) clearly missed.
Salzburg turned dangerous when goalkeeper Paul Gartler saved a crooked shot from Mergim Berisha (23). From that moment the champions dominated, the goal in the 29th minute was the result. After a long pass from Albert Vallci, Dominik Szoboszlai volleyed to the center, Koita scored from a direct shot. Six minutes later Berisha missed the chance to make it 2-0, Gartler and Maximilian Ullmann defused their shot with their combined forces.
Early in the second half, Rapid had to digest the following setback: Captain Dejan Ljubicic suffered an ankle injury when he fouled Zlatko Junuzovic. After that, Salzburg let the ball run and the opponents, a new goal seemed only a matter of time, but Koita (49th) and Andre Ramalho (52nd) missed Gartler.
Open exchange of blows
After an hour, Demir and Kara entered the field and suddenly took the Rapids’ offensive game to a new level. In the 62nd minute, Kara fired past the short corner after a pass from Demir, seconds later Stankovic tamed a shot from Demir.
The match was open again and Salzburg also remained dangerous, for example when substitute Masaya Okugawa had the opportunity for Gartler to destroy (74th). On the other side, Kara had a chance to equalize, with her shot after Srdan Grahovac’s preliminary work, Stankovic was on point with a standing defense (83).
Less than two minutes later, the well-deserved tie fell. Kara served Knasmüllner, who outpointed Stankovic with a balloon. In the final phase, Salzburg staggered and Enock Mwepu also stumbled with a counter opportunity (92). He was left with a fair division of points.
Voices for the game:
Dietmar Kühbauer (Quick coach): “We started incredibly well, Salzburg had no access. With the goal, Salzburg took over the game and shortly after the break they also had a 2-0 chance. With the replacement of Erci (note: Kara) and Yusi (note: Demir), we took over the game and we did not undeservedly call. I have to give the team an incredible compliment. Although we had two fewer days of regeneration, we looked fresher, which speaks to the incredible character and mentality of the team. “
On Ljubicic’s injury: “With Dejan, the ankle is not broken. He suffered a ligament injury, details will be available Monday. It is a great loss because he is an important player. I assume Junuzovic has no intention of committing the foul. “
Jesse March (Salzburg coach): “It was a real fight. We were very strong in the first half and very good at the game. The second half wasn’t bad, but we weren’t good enough for the goal. The game could have ended with the second goal. So we made a mistake and we got a goal. Overall it wasn’t bad, but if we had been a little smarter we could have won. It must also be said that Rapid played well, very intensely and fought well. It was a great game, one of the best in my time here. “
