Salzburg only got going in the last third, but no goal wanted to triumph.
The mere fact that the match was played was already a show of force: Red Bull Salzburg hosted Black Wings Linz on Friday night in the game plan changed due to the crown and suffered the third consecutive loss in 2: 3 after. of the extension.
In the first 30 minutes, steadfast fans couldn’t shake the impression that it could have been better if they hadn’t played the game. Linz seemed fresher, more agile and full of ideas in all aspects, but also more physically present. Salzburg mainly chased the target, and after the first third they were 1: 2 behind. During this phase, Swedish goalkeeper Jesper Eliasson saved Salzburg from a major deficit on his debut. The 20-year-old made a serious mistake conceding the first goal, but then showed a solid performance.
Schofield’s draw at 2-2 was preceded by a dream combination with Thomas Raffl and John Hughes. But then both teams surpassed each other in terms of maximum chances: in Salzburg, Schütz, Raffl or Baltram raced alone on Linz-Keeper Kickert and failed, on the other hand, Pelletier, Lebler and Gaffal could not defeat Eliasson if they did it alone . Only in the third third was Salzburg fully awake, but without a goal.
The logical consequence: Extension, and Dragan Umicevic, who had previously promoted Filip Varejcka to the gang and to the hospital, used another blatant defensive error to make it 3-2.
“We have a young team, there are a lot of mistakes on defense because we think too much offense,” captain Thomas Raffl said. The crown-related postponements were no excuse for him. “That night there were many players in front of the television and they would have liked to play.”
The current situation also poses great challenges for the league. To date, more than 3,000 tests have been performed and most of the players and coaches who tested positive have shown no symptoms. In order to make even faster decisions, a team of doctors was created alongside the Crown Commission. He decides on the event. With the exception of Salzburg, Bratislava and Linz, all teams are likely to have crown cases. It was leaked from Bolzano that almost the entire team and the support team had tested positive.
