Sturm goes raised, Salzburg with a defeat

With a home game in Klagenfurt and one in Salzburg, the current season in the premier class ends for the two Austrian clubs. The new Champions League mode caused a lot of excitement on the last matchday-in which the domestic clubs had nothing to talk to

Sturm Graz – RB Leipzig: A successful final party

Sturm Graz invited to a premiere in Klagenfurt: for the first time, the Styrians met in a home game of the Champions League on a German team. And: There was a home game record in Sturm’s European Cup history: 26,851 fans saw and cheered a not undeserved 1-0 win.

Three Austrians ran against the duel against RB Leipzig in Klagenfurt, which was not about anything in terms of sport. Two among the Germans, where no German started, but Baumgartner and Seiwald, Geyrhofer was Austria’s contribution to Sturm.

After the 0: 5 in Bergamo, the Grazer, more committed, lack of fit prevented dangerous situations. And on the defensive, the Graz were not always saddle -proof, but the guests used it less skillfully.

The Leipzigers had an easy obesity, but it rarely became more dangerous. And in the 42nd minute the 19-year-old appeared the big appearance Arjan Malicwho met in his second competitive game from the start by dusting for a corner and extension of Chukwuani.

Shortly afterwards, Baumgartner narrowly missed Leipzig.

The fans cheered after the break, but a goal from Böving was preceded by a foul by Jatta in a good storm and urge time. After Var-Check, the hit was revoked. Sturm enjoyed the last minutes in the Champions League, played courageously.

Salzburg – Atletico: A step backwards to say goodbye

Suck the Champions League atmosphere again, who knows when the next option is. Salzburg Wanted to say goodbye, which shouldn’t really succeed.

Atletico Madrid celebrated a sovereign 4-1 win, secured a fixed place in the round of 16. The Salzburgers took a step back in terms of performance and end the league with three points and without a single goal at home.

Salzburg received the first damper before the kick -off. Midfield engine Bidstrup had to fit with gastrointestinal problems. Without the Danes, not much worked in the game of the home side, and the bite was often missing in the duels. That was better in Madrid a week ago.

So the next setback was not long in coming. Giuliano Simeone gave Atletico early (5th). Papa Diego cheered on the coaching bench. Salzburg seemed overwhelmed against the team from Spain peppered with world champions. When Daghim came to a first chance after a Koke-Patzer, he failed pitifully (12th). In return, Simeone overslower and served Griezmann – 0: 2 (13th).

Salzburg’s luck was that Atletico then focused on his core competence – defending. Salzburg was allowed to play, but could hardly find a way through the defense, more than a few half chances were not inside. And the guests remained dangerous in the counterattack. Schlager was able to distinguish himself against Griezmann (43.). Shortly before the break whistle, the Frenchman aimed better – 0: 3 (45.+1).

Salzburg was also allowed to play after the break, but the gate scored llor ducks for Atletico. (63.). After all, Daghim late achieved the first CL goal at home.

Schlager could not really convince, but will probably be in the goal against the LASK on Sunday. The following applies to him as well as to his colleagues: increase urgently, otherwise it is not enough nationally.
