The ÖFB team goalkeeper saved a penalty from his former LASK teammate Alexander Schmidt in the 90th minute. “He saved the point for us,” said Salzburg coach Gerhard Struber.
Only the video referee saw the penalty after an attack on Marvin Martins. Originally, Austria’s defense chief was cautioned by referee Stefan Ebner for a yellow ball. Martins even saw red because he hit Schlager with an elbow during the pack formation that followed.
Sturm Graz caught up with Salzburg on points by winning 3-0 in Klagenfurt. Coach Christian Ilzer: “It was an impressive win in a situation that wasn’t easy for us.”
