Good Linzer unrewarded
LASK vs. Red Bull Salzburg – LIVE from 19:30
Red Bull Salzburg are still without a point after the third game of the Bundesliga season! The runners-up won Saturday's match at LASK, for whom former world champion Jerome Boateng made his debut, 1:0 (0:0) and lead the table by three points ahead of defending champions Sturm Graz.
It was a successful dress rehearsal for coach Pepijn Lijnders' squad ahead of the Champions League play-off in Lublin against Dynamo Kiev. There was no sense of achievement for Linz ahead of the start of the Europa League play-off.
In their sixth competitive match under Lijnders, they recorded their fifth win
After the surprising 2-1 defeat against Altach in the Raiffeisen Arena, Linz suffered their second successive defeat in front of their own fans. Just three points and eighth place are the meagre result. They cannot take much confidence into Thursday's home game against FCSB Bucharest. The situation is completely different at former serial champions Salzburg. In their sixth competitive match under Lijnders, they recorded their fifth win. This was secured by Moussa Yeo (64'), a player who had just come on as a substitute. The Dutch coach's rotation principle was a complete success. A higher hurdle awaits in Poland on Wednesday.
As expected, Lijnders opted for rotation. There were five changes to the starting eleven compared to the 3-3 draw at Twente Enschede on Tuesday, which secured promotion to the Champions League play-off. Right-back Amar Dedic was given a break at the start, as were midfielders Mads Bidstrup and Lucas Gourna-Douath and strikers Yeo and Oscar Gloukh. Ignace van der Brempt, Nicolas Capaldo, Mamady Diambou, Adam Daghim and Petar Ratkov benefited from the changes.
Boateng got off to a brisk start from the bench
For Linz, coach Thomas Darazs gave all but one of the squad that had failed against Altach a chance to do better. Ex-Salzburg player Valon Berisha, who suffered a heel injury, was replaced by Lenny Pintor on the left wing. German former team defender Boateng made his first appearance. Initially, he saw a brisk start from the bench, with both teams playing boldly forward.
The visitors gained a slight advantage and also had a small chance advantage. A Ratkov header after a Terzic cross went wide (20'), as did a Daghim shot after Milos Jovicic had lost the ball carelessly (22'). At the other end, only Robert Zulj posed a threat with a shot, but Janis Blaswich was able to deflect the ball out for a corner (28'). The German was preferred to ÖFB team goalkeeper Alexander Schlager, who was back in the match squad for the first time after his injury lay-off.
Yeo converted Gloukh's pass from an acute angle
After the restart, the 15,700 spectators initially waited in vain for top chances, but this changed after a triple substitution by Salzburg after half an hour. Melayro Bogarde lost the ball in the penalty area, Gloukh got through on the side and his pass was turned into the far corner by Yeo from an acute angle. The two substitutes used the outside of the box and were both quicker than their opponents. A third "joker", Bidstrup, also took center stage immediately afterwards, but Tobias Lawal was able to clear his shot (67').
Linz then briefly pressed for an equalizer, Marin Ljubicic was just prevented from finishing by Kamik Piatkowski, but Adil Taoui was unable to get a shot on target from a good position (80'). Dedic, who came on for Salzburg in the 68th minute, could have made it all clear, but Lawal was his master (83').
Boateng, who was substituted in the 81st minute, was already on the field for LASK. After the 3:2 at GAK and the 5:1 against Blau-Weiß Linz, the Salzburg team again scored three points. In contrast to the 7:1 in the last duel with LASK on the last matchday of the previous season, they had much more trouble this time.
The result:
LASK - Red Bull Salzburg 0:1 (0:0)
Linz, Raiffeisen Arena, 15,700 spectators, SR Harkam
Goal: 0:1 (64.) Yeo
Yellow cards: Ziereis, Jovicic, Tibidi and Daghim respectively
