© Sports report
In the second and final test match at the training camp in Marbella, FC Red Bull Salzburg beat German second division club Karlsruher SC with 3:0 (0:0). The Red Bulls scored goals from Karim Konate, Samson Baidoo and Benjamin Sesko.
TO THE GAME:
Just like in the friendly against Sparta Prague, things get off to a great start this time too. However, Noah Okafor, who ran alone to KSC goalie Gersbeck after a great Koita pass, was unable to take an early lead. Just two minutes later, the Red Bulls were lucky when Schleusener hit the inside post. Another good opportunity before the half-time break came from Oumar Solet, who failed after a clever corner kick.
Karim Konate took the lead in the 73rd minute. After winning the ball through high pressure, the youngster, who had been pulled up by FC Liefering, converted a cross pass from Raphael Hofer from close range to make it 1-0. The next accent was set by the Ivory Coast striker. He completed an unsuccessful header return from the KSC defense with great force, and the opposing keeper was just able to get to it (82′). And Konate again: After a dream pass from Ignace Van der Brempt to the 18-year-old, the goalkeeper from Karlsruhe was the winner (88th). Substitute Lawrence Agyekum also caused danger with a long-range shot before another youngster made it 2-0 from the resulting corner – Samson Baidoo with a header (103 ‘). A rapid counterattack by Karim Konate and Benjamin Sesko, which the Slovenian completed energetically, meant the final score was 3-0 (117th).
