Salzburg's comeback: comeback win against Sturm brings new hope!

In the exciting duel between Red Bull Salzburg and Sturm Graz last Sunday, Salzburg triumphed with a 3-1 comeback win, recovering from an initial deficit. The exciting encounter at the Red Bull Arena was watched by 11,363 fans and revealed a newfound energy in the team that coach Thomas Letsch saw as crucial to their success. “That was great, there was something between the spectators and us, there was energy,” explained Letsch, who was proud of his players’ performance. Joker Adam Daghim particularly stood out, as he assisted on all three goals from Yorbe Vertessen (72'), Dorgeles Nene (84') and Karim Onisiwo (87'). salzburg24.at reported.

Despite the victory, sporting director Rouven Schröder emphasized that humility was still important as Sturm Graz are currently at the top of the table. “We are well advised to be very humble,” he said and urged the team to remain humble. Captain Alexander Schlager also urged caution. “Now it’s time to work, work, work and take this positive drive with you,” said the goalie. With this victory, the Bulls reduced the gap to the Styrian champions and Austria Vienna to six points and thus strengthened their position in the title race, which is becoming more exciting two rounds before the points are divided. As the game entered the second half, the Graz team under coach Jürgen Säumel drifted away and had to admit defeat after a strong first half, which increased concerns about their current performance.

A new attempt in the title race

The virus-like upward trend after the win against Sturm Graz shows that Salzburg is getting back into shape. The sports director and the coach agree that the current momentum results in an intensive work phase and the unshakable team spirit. “Sturm Graz is still first and we are behind them,” said Schröder, who made it clear that the journey is not over yet. Even though the first 45 minutes still have room for improvement, the last 20 minutes are a clear message that they can be taken seriously in the title race. Ultimately, the Salzburg team emphasize that despite the success on Sunday, there is a lot of work ahead of them to permanently bring their performance to a higher level kleinezeitung.at noted.
