Austrian women's football: Austria Vienna shocks Salzburg 6-0!

The women of FK Austria Wien put in a really strong performance against the women of Red Bull Salzburg last evening. With an impressive 6-0 win, the game literally slipped through Salzburg's fingers, and the spectators in the Generali Arena were treated to a real shooting festival. Onefootball reports that the game was a lesson for the guests from Salzburg, especially after their strong start to the season.

The match couldn't have started more excitingly: Salzburg appeared bold right from the start and did everything they could to gain an advantage. Captain Lucia Orkic celebrated her starting debut, while the first real excitement for Austria came when a wayward cross hit the crossbar. But Viennese Pfattner didn't wait long and scored the first goal of the game in the 17th minute after a throw-in. This early lead gave the home team the boost they needed and Salzburg had to make do with a Vina Crnoja shot that ended up in the side netting.

A fireworks display in the second half

The second half should really ignite the spectacle. In the 62nd minute, Cordes made it 2-0 with a header and hardly gave Salzburg any time to react. Pfattner then showed her class again and made it 3-0 with an unfortunate shot in the 65th minute. Then the knot was finally broken: Schiechtl only scored after a corner to make it 4-0 (69th minute) and then converted a penalty that made it 5-0 (77th minute). Pfattner put the final icing on the cake with an impressive 25-meter shot to make it 6-0 in the 89th minute. As FK Austria Vienna recorded, the result was ultimately too high for a game that was evenly matched in the first half.

Despite the result, coach Stephan Helm looked back positively on what happened on the pitch. He saw the four standard goals, which ultimately cost Salzburg the game, as the key to success. “This is a learning moment for our young team,” said Helm. On Salzburg's side, coach Thomas Letsch was not satisfied with the results of the last few games and had already made a few changes to the lineup, but the plan didn't work. The defeat against Sturm Graz left little room for mistakes, and Salzburg also ended this game with a heavy slap.

Lasting impressions and retrospectives

The spectators in the Generali Arena, even if the exact number was not given, had fun and witnessed an emphatic statement from Austria Wien in the women's Bundesliga. This season writes its own stories, and how Kicker reports, it will be exciting to see how the teams continue to develop.

What will the next challenge bring for the Viennese women? One thing is certain: they have put form and confidence back on the agenda with this impressive win. The fans can look forward to the upcoming games!
