The series champion shot his way to a clear 3:0 (1:0) victory over SV Fügen in the finish on Friday. The outsider from the Regionalliga Tirol resisted for a long time in Zell am Ziller. Benjamin Sesko (19′), Junior Adamu (76′) and Ignace van der Brempt (83′) converted Salzburg’s superiority into goals.
Rapid won 1-0 (0-0) at SK Treibach after a goal by Guido Burgstaller in the fourth minute of added time and thus avoided overtime. The regional league middle club from Carinthia had long been able to successfully barricade their goal. Austria Klagenfurt, on the other hand, didn’t let fourth division Admira Dornbirn burn and celebrated a shooting match at 8:1.
Salzburg started in the Zillertal with two newcomers: Brazilian Fernando started in attack, Serbian Strahinja Pavlovic in central defence. The big favorite naturally determined the game, but the underdog missed the first good chance after a few minutes through Matteo Steiner. Goalkeeper Patrick Schiestl in particular defended himself with all his might. After a few saves, a mistake by the goalkeeper leveled Salzburg’s lead, Benjamin Sesko dusted off.
The lively but hapless Fernando stayed in the dressing room after the break, with Noah Okafor replacing Adeyemi’s replacement. Fügen continued to successfully hold the result with a tight defensive bar. Adamu, who was also a substitute, made it 2-0 after a pass from Wöber, who was on the left flank. Right-back Van der Brempt followed up after a corner kick. In the end, coach Matthias Jaissle was satisfied: “All in all, it was still a very, very deserved victory. We have to be a little more consistent – the chances of a victorious victory were there, but it stayed that way for a long time. We definitely have a duty Fulfills.”
With difficulty to victory
At Rapid, Guido Burgstaller and Nicolas Kühn were on the offensive from the start, and Rene Kriwak was also allowed to start. Aleksa Pejic, brought in from Belarus for defensive midfield, was absent. The Serbian still has no permission to play. It is hoped that this will be obtained before the start of the league, it said.
In rainy conditions, the green-whites looked for a gap from the start against a deep-lying and disciplined defending opponent. Kühn after just three minutes, Kriwak on the outside bar and Greil, who failed at Treibach’s keeper Patrick Böck, missed the lead. On the other side, Vahid Muharemovic shot too centrally from a good position five minutes before half-time when the Carinthians only had an opportunity.
Even after a change of sides, Rapid ran in vain and with few ideas. Substitute Bernhard Zimmermann with an unplaced header or Marco Grüll from a distance missed opportunities. At Treibach, the forces visibly dwindled, the Carinthians tried to save themselves in extra time. Burgstaller finally ended the goal suspension in the seven-minute stoppage time. The Carinthian successfully climbed up after a sharp cross from Auer and headed the ball into the goal. “The chances were there, we were in control. Overall, the result wasn’t great, but the game was okay. The goals were missing, so we made it difficult for ourselves,” analyzed the scorer on ORF- Interview.
Klagenfurt had no problems scoring goals. The veteran Marco Knaller (35) was in the Austria case for the first time in the thrashing victory in Dornbirn, in the league Philipp Menzel still has his regular body. Peter Pacult’s team got off to a good start with the early 1-0 lead by new signing Christopher Wernitznig (2nd) and then scored goal after goal against the fourth division team. The Vorarlbergers managed to make it 1:2 in the meantime, but by the break the Bundesliga side were already leading 5:1 thanks to a brace from Christopher Cvetko. After a change of sides, newcomers Sinan Karweina and Jonas Arweiler also scored.
