FC Salzburg had to settle for a draw on the third matchday of the UEFA Europa League.

LAOLA1 analyzes the performance of all Salzburg players and assigns ratings (1=Very Good, 2=Good, 3=Satisfactory, 4=Sufficient, 5=Insufficient, "-" = played too short a time).

test

Christian Zawieschitzky

90 Minutes

The young keeper put in a good performance. When called upon, he distinguished himself and couldn't do much about either of the two goals conceded. There was a brief injury scare, but he was able to play through.

test

Leandro Morgalla

90 Minutes

Was directly involved in the 1-0 with a strong ball win, generally good interplay with Redzic. Afterwards, he faded slightly, especially defensively. Towards the middle of the second half, he found his way back into the game better. For the 2-2 equalizer, he and Boma played the opposition onside, allowing the Slovenians to score.

test

Kevin Boma

90 Minutes

The Togolese player once again delivered a very confident performance. Both in defensive behaviour and passing, Boma was Salzburg's best defender. However, he and Morgalla played the opposition onside for the late equalizer.

test

Tim Drexler

90 Minutes

This was not the German's game. Drexler seemed very nervous and frantic from the start, repeatedly causing serious errors. He made several unnecessary mistakes, especially when playing out from the back. Moreover, he was decisively involved in both goals conceded.

test

Dominik Schmid

90 Minutes

In the first half, Schmid still put in a decent performance, making an important ball recovery midway through. In the second half, however, he had significant problems with Dukuly. Celje repeatedly posed a threat down his side in the final phase.

test

Abubakr Barry

90 Minutes

The Gambian player had a very inconsistent game. One moment with a very good ball recovery, another with a major misplaced pass. In the second half, he found a bit more consistency. Barry repeatedly tried shots from distance, but only once did he get somewhat dangerously close to goal.

test

Umut Tohmucu

Until the 45th Minute

In his first European Cup appearance this season, the German initially seemed a bit uncertain. As the game progressed, he worked his way into the match better and better. He also repeatedly drifted to the right, where he had a bit more space and calm for his game. Nevertheless, his game was over after 45 minutes.

test

Damir Redzic, two assists, Yellow card

until the 83rd Minute

Salzburg's best player!

The Hungarian consistently created danger down his right side, especially in the first half. The Slovenian defense had major problems with his quick, high-tempo dribbling. In the 9th minute, he provided a strong assist for the 1-0 goal. He remained dangerous thereafter. At the beginning of the second half, he also set up Lindström's 2-0 goal. After that, he became a bit more inconspicuous, but still had a very strong game.

test

Sota Kitano, Goal

Until the 65th Minute

Already in the 9th minute, the Japanese player scored the "Bulls'" early lead. He converted a nice pass from Redzic, but Kitano's finish was also very strong. After that, he continued to show effort as a number ten, but he wasn't entirely error-free. Nevertheless, he remained dangerous but missed his second goal. His game ended after 65 minutes.

test

Yorbe Vertessen

Until the 45th Minute

The Belgian delivered a solid, but not very spectacular performance. He made few mistakes. However, relatively little happened down his left side, meaning the attacking player couldn't pose much of a threat. His game was over after one half.

test

Haris Tabakovic

90 Minutes

The Bosnian couldn't make his mark on the game at all. He struggled immensely in link-up play and also lacked luck in front of goal. In both the first half and the final phase, he squandered a huge chance; he could have scored at least one goal there. Defensively, however, he consistently won important duels.

test

Jesper Lindström, Goal

from the 46th Minute

Just 30 seconds after coming on, he scored the 2-0 goal after a strong dribble. After that, however, the Dane didn't show much more. Although more happened down his side than before with Vertessen, decision-making was often an issue.

test

Bartosz Mazurek

From the 46th Minute

Salzburg didn't necessarily become more secure with the introduction of the Pole. The recently strong Mazurek repeatedly made a few unnecessary errors, especially in his passing. It wasn't the youngster's game.

test

Gaoussou Diakite

from the 65th Minute

The winger brought fresh impetus to the game. His dribbling caught attention, but the final decisive action was missing.

test

Frans Krätzig

From the 83rd Minute

The German delivered a very strong pass to Tabakovic, but overall he was on the pitch for too short a time to be rated.
