Red Bull Salzburg warmed up with a shooting festival in the ÖFB Cup for the start of the Bundesliga next weekend. In the first round at third-division club Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz, the defending champion won 10-0 on Wednesday night. Patson Daka, who was only used in the first half of the match, scored four goals, while Salzburg already held an 8-0 lead at the break. It was the highest break advantage in the ÖFB Cup.
After a short time of preparation, Salzburg apparently scored at will at the traditional Bregenz club, which now play in Vorarlberg’s elite league. Sekou Koita opened the scoring in the 13th minute after a pass from Daka. The “Red Bulls”, who were two players on the team with underemployed goalkeeper Cican Stankovic and Max Wöber, relentlessly followed suit. Daka scored after an offense against himself with a penalty and then added the hits to 3-0, 6-0 and 7-0. Coach Jesse Marsch forgave his best forward for the game at WAC on Sunday.
Other invited scorers before the break were Mohamed Camara with a hard long shot, Enock Mwepu and Luka Sucic. The Croatian used in the Youth League only celebrated his 18th birthday the day before the match and was allowed to successfully take the penalty. Forgiven actors such as Zlatko Junuzovic, Dominik Szoboszlai or Andreas Ulmer were not present in Salzburg. French newcomer Oumar Solet is not fully fit yet.
Only after more goals from Masaya Okugawa and Wöber was Bregenz able to put one or the other accent on offense. Salzburg lost the flow of the game a bit after five changes. There were no more hits in the last 35 minutes. “It was great how we performed, especially in the first half. A great test for us before the league starts. The best thing for all of us was to play in front of the spectators again,” Wöber said in an interview with ORF. 1,250 visitors were admitted to Bregenz. Marsch said: “The concentration and the mentality were very good from the beginning. I am very satisfied. It was a good start to the new season.”
Strong sports club
Also, after the supplemental games, the original game dates almost two weeks ago could not be realized due to Covid-19 diseases, the Wiener Sport-Club (5-0 against SV St. Jakob / Rosental) and Vorwärts Steyr (1 : 0 against ASK-BSC Bruck / Leitha). The second round of the cup will be drawn on September 20.
