Austria Vienna lost to Salzburg: Comments on the game – football
Austria Vienna lost 2-1 in the Bundesliga at home to Red Bull Salzburg on Sunday. Here are reviews of the game.
Even the apology from referee Christian-Petru Ciochirca could not really comfort Manfred Schmid after the “very bitter” 1:2 against Salzburg. “It happened that it was never, ever a corner kick. He apologized for it in the dressing room, but that doesn’t do us much good,” said Austria Wien’s coach on Easter Sunday with a view to the “crystal clear wrong decision” before the 0: 1 disappointed.
Schmid was particularly annoyed that “the team was already on the way back halfway from Salzburg and signaled it that way. Everyone in the stadium saw it.” After a header from the crossbar by Nicolas Capaldo, Ciochirca mistakenly decided on a corner kick, from which Junior Adamu (52′) gave Salzburg the lead. “It was a misperception on my part. I apologize to the random, even if it doesn’t help anyone,” said Ciochirca on Sky.
Austria Vienna with home defeat against Red Bull Salzburg: Voices on the game
Manfred Schmid (Austria coach): “The team put in a strong performance and played well. It’s very, very sad that we didn’t take anything with us today. I feel sorry for the team. We just lost, didn’t get anything, but we’ll keep working. It was never, never one Corner kick. I’m particularly annoyed that half the Salzburg team was already on the way back. The whole stadium saw that too. He (the referee) did it and apologized, but that doesn’t do us much good.”
Matthias Jaissle (Salzburg coach): “As expected, it was a tough fight. Austria have been doing well all season. All in all, we didn’t have the best game, but we deserved to win. It wasn’t a corner kick and therefore there should have been a goal kick. I would have liked to have today closed the bag. But the thing is, we did our thing.”
