Berisha double pack paves the way to victory for Salzburg – football –

After the good but unfortunate appearance against Bayern Munich, Salzburg were forced to win today at Lokomotiv Moscow on matchday five of the CL group stage. Because only with total success could one surpass the Russian runner-up and move on to the important position of the third group.

In the game itself, the guests took command against very defensive Russians from the start. In the 18th minute, Berisha managed to take the lead, which was rightly denied her for an offside position. In the 28th minute the moment had come, this time Berisha’s goal counted after a long video study and Salzburg deservedly won 1-0. Shortly before the break, the attacker made the perfect double and after some perfect preparatory work from Koita secured a comfortable 2-0 lead.

In the second half, Salzburg controlled the game as much as possible, even if the defense often revealed too large gaps. Moscow could not find any capital from the few opportunities that arose to regain tension. This brought Salzburg back – after a clear foul by Ramalho on Ze Luis Miranchuk made a penalty for goal 2-1 (79th). But practically in return, Adeyemi, who entered, made the decisive victory 3-1 after a serious defensive error.

In the end, the people of Salzburg celebrated a well-deserved and enormous success. Thanks to the draw between Atlético and Bayern, Salzburg even have promotion to the next round in their own hands.

In Group B there was a big surprise in the second game in the morning: Real Madrid had to admit a 2-0 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk after a disappointing away performance for more than 90 minutes and is only in the before the last day (duel with Gladbach) third place in the table.
