Salzburg dominates Austria: 3-0 win in Favoriten!
The big game of the 11th Bundesliga matchday took place today in Vienna-Favoriten, where FC Red Bull Salzburg defeated Wiener Austria 3-0. In front of 14,479 spectators, Salzburg showed that they are determined to maintain the pressure at the top of the table despite recent difficulties in the European Cup. With this victory, Salzburg drew level with league leaders Sturm Graz and cemented its ambitions for the championship.
The game started promisingly for Salzburg: Sota Kitano took advantage of a mistake by Austria keeper Sahin-Radlinger in the 8th minute and made it 1-0. Just a little later, in the 16th minute, Alajbegovic increased the score to 2-0. For the Viennese, offensive opportunities remained sparse throughout the game. Coach Stephan Helm had to change the line-up because Saljic was injured, and so Austria's attacks often had no teeth.
Austria with weak performance
The hosts struggled to create dangerous moves and were anything but efficient in the final third. Salzburg, on the other hand, flourished and underlined their dominance after the break when Trummer scored the decisive third goal in the 56th minute after a quick counterattack. Austria never recovered from this deficit; A notable scoring opportunity was not forthcoming until the final whistle.
This defeat is the Vienna team's worst since May 2024, when they also lost 4-0 to the WAC. Austria remains in fifth place in the table and has been waiting for a win against the record champions from Salzburg for over seven years.
Salzburg's European Cup excursions
The situation also underlines the season of both clubs so far: While Salzburg is consistently at the top of the table, Austria has to ask itself where the journey should lead. The coming weeks will show whether the Viennese can learn the right lessons from this defeat.
The next exciting duel will soon be on the agenda for Salzburg, where they will try to maintain the creative forces in the league and turn setbacks from the European Cup into motivation for the Bundesliga.
