3: 1 in Razgrad: LASK said goodbye to the Europa League with ten points. The victory was the perfect preparation for Sunday’s Bundesliga highs game in Salzburg. “A good performance in the game is a good prerequisite for going to the next game with confidence,” coach Dominik Thalhammer said before kick-off. His team in Bulgaria fulfilled this task.
Although there was little sporting affair, LASK played like there was still a chance for promotion, without captain Gernot Trauner, awaiting the birth of his third child at home, and all five injured. The changes (Jewgen Tschberko and Dominik Reiter made their starting eleven in the European Cup) in no way slowed down LASK, nor did they think about the Salzburg match.
Goiginger missed a penalty
Countless balls were conquered in the press, Rasgrad barely out of his own half. 12: 0 shots: What was missing from the dominant performance before the break was a goal. Reiter hit the crossbar (16th), Thomas Goiginger was the next penalty taker: goalkeeper Plamen Iliew stopped the shot in the left corner (45th). Johannes Eggestein shot Altach (3-0).
Revenge was taken: 40 seconds after the restart, Elvis Manu used the Bulgarians ‘first shot on goal to make it 1-0, Manu who scored all three of the Bulgarians’ goals at LASK 4: 3 in the first game . The 27-year-old was only signed during the break.
But then LASK froze with three goals in eleven minutes: Philipp Wiesinger scored the right corner – 1: 1 (56th). Iliew stopped Eggestein’s shot, Alex Santana prevented Rene Renner from stabbing: red and penalty. The foul immediately grabbed the ball and used it in the left corner (62). And after Eggestein’s squad, Mads Emil Madsen scored his first goal in the European Cup with his head (67th).
Balic made his return
After that, LASK shifted to soft gear, and Hussein Balic underwent a fitness test after his ankle injury before the main game when he was substituted. Iliew hit the crossbar (79.) and missed his head (93.)
On Friday, athletes can sleep in late before heading home. They arrive in Hörsching at 4.15 pm There is only one training session on Saturday to prepare for the game in Salzburg.
