series master Salzburg has returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga. After two 1-1 draws against Rapid and LASK, the “Bulls” scored 3-2 (0-0) with their “B-Elf”. altach full and larger lead over the closest pursuer, Sturm Graz, at least until Sunday to five points. Maximilian Wöber (52nd), Sekou Koita (59th) and Junior Adamu (72nd) ensure the work victory on deep Altach soil.
Bundesliga – 11th matchday
The hosts equalized through Alexis Tibidi (57′) and scored the goal through Atdhe Nuhiu (78′). However, the brave performance of Miroslav Klose’s team was not rewarded a week after the small liberation against Ried. On Sunday, the tail light from the Innviertel in Wolfsberg could be level with Altach again with a win.
Jaissle relies on nine new players
Jaissle rotated his team almost beyond recognition for the guest appearance in Zagreb next Tuesday. Seven starting factors from the 1-0 win against Zagreb didn’t even make the trip to the country. Apart from goalie Philipp Köhn and midfield long-runner Maurits Kjaergaard, nine new players were found on the field. Including Vice-Captain Wöber, who was “banished” to the bench against Dinamo, on the left in the back four.
More than the reformation causes the “bulls” to create heavy rains. It was extremely difficult to create chances against Altach, who were in good shape. The most dangerous situation before the break comes from the home side. After a nice attack, Köhn had to parry against Nuhiu, but the ball still found its way towards the goal, where Kamil Piatkowski apparently only scratched it out of the box behind the line. After a VAR consultation, the supposed 1-0 was not given.
Salzburg initially got no further than a long-range shot (21st) and a blocked attempt (27th) by Sekou Koita, who acted behind the leaders Roko Simic and Junior Adamu, and was repeatedly busy stopping Altach’s offensive actions. After a very clear foul by Jan Jurcec in the penalty area, Koita Mann also claimed a penalty – without success (24th).
Five goals after the break
The early stages of the second half brought not only a slackening of the rain, but also a lot of momentum. Immediately after the restart, Köhn had to intervene in a Nuhiu-Köpfler (47th), but the guests scored the first goal. First Koita failed from short distance due to his poor ball acceptance, a little later he prepared the 1:0: Roko Sim processed his cross in the penalty area to assist Wöber, who didn’t give goalie Tino Casali a chance from a good ten meters.
But the Vorarlbergers were not impressed by this, five minutes later Tibidi spurted through the central defense after a hole pass and ensured the equalizer with a shot into the far corner. It goes very fast. Koita restored the old lead with a volley even after a cross from short distance, about a quarter of an hour and a mistake by Altach in the build-up, then Adamu poked the ball over the line for the preliminary decision. Even if Nuhiu made it exciting again with a header after a cross. Substitute Benjamin Sesko missed the preliminary decision for Salzburg in the hectic seven-minute stoppage time with a shot from the pole (93′).
