Before the test game atmosphere in the TQL Stadium, sparsely visited with 5,282 spectators, Oscar Gloukh put the Salzburg (42nd) in the lead with a placed spacer shot. After the break, the Algerian referee Mustapha Ghorbal interrupted the game for security reasons because of an impending thunderstorm, followed by heavy rain showers and a long wait. Immediately after the restart, Bryan Gonzalez (56.) equalized with a direct free kick for the concacaf champions cup winner, which is always dangerous. But “Joker” Karim Onisiwo (76th) brought the Salzburg back to the winning road with a header.
In the parallel game, fellow favorite Real Madrid without ÖFB star David Alaba had not got beyond a 1: 1 at the debut of coach Xabi Alonso against the Saudi Arabian-Arabian Club Al Hilal. For the Salzburger, the night of Al Hilal continues in Washington on Monday (0.00 a.m.) before the last group game against Real is on the program four days later. The two top teams of each group rise to the round of 16 at the big tournament in the USA.
New “bulls” defensive
Letsch set up an almost completely newly formed defensive in Ohio. With returnee Stefan Lainer and the German Frans Krätzig, two new full -backs were in the starting eleven, in the center the Dane Jacob Rasmussen came to the train for the first time. In the goal, Christian Zawieschitzky replaced the ÖFB team goalie Alexander Schlager injured on the wrist, the 18-year-old delivered a talent test in his first competitive game for the “Bullen” and was the outstanding man of the game.
In the initial phase, the Letsch-Elf had more game shares, but the Mexicans booked much more dangerous. But Zawieschitzky held the zero when it was completed by Venezuela’s striker routiner Salomon Rondon (9th) and Elias Montiel (11th) and in a Rondon head (31st), which he steered on the crossbar.
Gloukh hit happiness
The Salzburgers wobbled, but also came to opportunities. Dorgeles Nene shot twice (23rd, 25th) over it, Gloukh failed with a long-range shot on Pachuca goalkeeper Carlos Moreno (28th). Shortly before the break, the Israeli did better: Sulzbacher served Gloukh, the playmaker let a defender go into the empty and stamped the ball into the right corner.
