Red Bull Salzburg wins a friendly against SV Ried
© Sports report
The second test match of the ongoing preparation brought FC Red Bull Salzburg a 3:1 (1:1) against league rivals SV Guntamatic Reed. Benjamin Sesko, Karim Adeyemi, Oumar Solet and Nikola Stosic scored the goals.
TO THE GAME:
If the table leader of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga meets the table sixth in a test match, this promises a duel on a rather high level. This test match with probably a brisk pace could do justice to that. The first opportunity for the Red Bulls came from Dorgeles Nene, who volleyed wide of the goal (4′). The Salzburg lead then comes around ten minutes later. Benjamin Sesko dropped Ried goalie Wendlinger after a nice Aaronson pass and scored to make it 1-0 or his fifth goal in a friendly. However, Rieder were able to equalize in a counterattack by Nikola Stosic because the defensive acted a little too hesitantly. The Upper Austrians then repeatedly posed a threat in front of Nico Mantl. On the Salzburg side, Junior Adamu missed the great opportunity to make it 2-1.
The average age of the team that started the second half was only 19.7 years. And also those who started, as it had recently succeeded against SKU Amstetten, like the fire brigade. In the 48th minute, Karim Adeyemi, now 20 years old, converted an Okafor cross pass to make it 2-1. Ten minutes later Adeyemi and Maurits Kjaergaard failed with a double great chance. The Red Bulls had another double chance in the 64th minute. First, Max Wöber missed a free-kick from Kjaergaard, before Adeyemi ran alone towards the Rieder goal, but didn’t put the ball there. The 3-1 final result comes from a standard situation. After a free-kick cross from Kjaergaard, Oumar Solet pushes the Wöber template over the line. An additional positive aspect after the break was that the young squad not only acted dangerously offensively, but also hardly allowed anything defensively.
FC Red Bull Salzburg – SV Guntamatic Ried 3: 1 (1: 1).
Goals: Sesko (15′), Adeyemi (48′), Solet (76′); Stosian (16th)

VOICES AFTER THE GAME:
Matthias Jaissle: “Ried was already a good opponent in the championship. That’s why I’m happy with today’s win, it was a very decent game from us. After all, we’re in the middle of the preparations, and our legs are a little tired. In the second half we had a team on the pitch that was under 20 years old on average and everyone showed what they could do.”
Karim Adeyemi: “It wasn’t easy today because Ried can play football very well and made life very difficult for us. But in the end it was a good test against good opponents and we’re happy. For me personally, my goal today was a nice present for my 20th birthday.”
