Gerhard Struber would probably have enjoyed it on Sunday. Would he still be? Salzburg-Coach. In the first match without him, his former team presented exactly what Struber had announced at the time: entertaining and spectacular offensive football.
Salzburg watched Big win against Klagenfurt looks a little like Salzburg again. Although the series champion also revealed the defensive weaknesses that had put the club in a sporting situation in recent weeks. With one tiny difference: When interim coach Onur Cinel made his debut, Salzburg was significantly more determined on offense than under his predecessor – and therefore more successful.
Sucic took the early lead with his first goal of the season (5th), but a penalty kick brought Klagenfurt back into the game (31st). Irving made it 1-1 after Salzburg goalgetter Konate clumsily tried to defend in the penalty area.
3 goals in 10 minutes
Die Reaction from Salzburg But it didn’t take long to arrive: with three goals within ten minutes, the champions moved ahead to 4-1 before the break. A brace from Konate and a goal from Glouck put the home team on the road to victory.
The series champions remained shaky on defense. The Klagenfurt goal by Besuschkow (54th), who was completely free after a corner, made the deficiencies in defense clear.
Salzburg looked revitalized offensively in the 4-2 win in the first match under Onur Cinel, but the evaluation of chances left a lot to be desired. Salzburg is in the lead in the table with the same number of points as Sturm Graz.
