RB Salzburg secured a confident 3-0 win in the ÖFB Cup against WSG Tirol

On Wednesday evening, the FC Red Bull Salzburg footballers impressively demonstrated their strength. As part of the UNIQA ÖFB Cup round of 16, Salzburg welcomed WSG Tirol to their stadium in Salzburg, and the outcome was a clear affair.

Although WSG Tirol recently managed a draw against Salzburg in the league, the guests had to contend with a number of injured players in this game. Salzburg, on the other hand, was able to use all of its power and ultimately won 3-0.

Penalties and control

The game started against a well-organized Tyrolean defense, which made it difficult for the Red Bulls to create clear chances. But the decisive turning point came in the 35th minute: Karim Konaté was fouled in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty. Konaté converted this safely and gave his team a 1-0 lead. This allowed the hosts to gain control of the game.

With this lead in their pocket, Salzburg took more and more command of the field. Despite several attempts by the Tyroleans to increase the pressure, the Red Bulls' defense remained stable and did not allow any serious threats. The first half ended with a 1-0 win for Salzburg.

Increase after half time

In the second half, FC Red Bull Salzburg showed why they are considered title contenders. Rarely has a team played so dominantly in a knockout round. Aleksa Terzić made it 2-0 in the 54th minute with a great shot into the far corner. This goal was a clear sign that the home team had the game firmly under control.

While WSG Tirol continued to struggle to mount an effective attack, Salzburg pushed for more. In the 83rd minute, Adam Daghim, who came on as a substitute for Konaté, rewarded himself with the third goal. After a quick counterattack, Daghim completed a precise pass from Konaté with a shot into the far corner. This gave FC Red Bull Salzburg the final score of 3-0.

In the final minutes, the hosts gave the Tyroleans no chance to score the next goal. Salzburg confidently played down the remaining time and proved once again that they are serious title contenders in the cup competition. With this clear victory they secured their place in the quarter-finals, where they will face LASK, which the fans are eagerly awaiting.

FC Red Bull Salzburg's impressive performance in this game will certainly help them go into the next round of the competition with a lot of confidence. LASK will be a demanding challenge, but Salzburg impressively demonstrated with their performance against WSG Tirol that they are ready to face any opponent.
