On the 7th matchday of the Admiral Bundesliga, Sturm Graz and Red Bull Salzburg drew 2-2 in an extremely eventful top duel.
Sturm starts the game well and is the slightly superior team at the beginning, forcing Salzburg to make a few mistakes. It seems as if the “Blackies” can be rewarded for their efforts, but a goal from Kiteishvili is rightly not given due to Affengruber’s offside position (7th).
In the 20th minute, Konate’s header creates a good opportunity for Mozartstadt, but he is unable to control the header. The game is then interrupted for a full 15 minutes due to fireworks from the storm fan stand >>>
With the campaign on the occasion of the anniversary of a Graz fan club, the Styrian supporters are initially apparently falling for themselves. With the restart, Salzburg takes control and also the lead.
Dream goal and penalty drama
After a corner from Salzburg, the ball bounces at Gloukh’s feet on the edge of the penalty area. His shot was blocked, but found its way to Baidoo, who, like a goal-getter from the left side, netted it into the far corner from an acute angle (40th).
However, the Ilzer team came out of the break strong and equalized with an absolute dream goal. Sarkaria hits the corner wide to Kiteishvili, who just shoots it from a half-right position and a good 30 meters away – and how! The bullet hits the Salzburg goal unsustainably via the underbar (53′).
Afterwards, both teams play with their sights open, Simic misses a top chance for Salzburg when Scherpen is able to make a one-on-one save. A little later, Sarkaria can calmly take the ball on the left corner of the penalty area, turns and shoots flat into the far corner. 2:1 for Sturm (63′).
Then things get hectic in the Merkur Arena. A poke in the Graz penalty area initially ends with a free kick for the “Blackies”, but then the VAR switches on – a penalty for Salzburg after a foul on Koita. The fouled player steps up himself to loud whistles and finishes flat into the right corner (73′).
The final minutes are extremely heated, but no more goals are produced. Salzburg remains at the top of the league with 19 points, with Sturm Graz still lurking close behind with 17 points.
Fireworks! Storm fans cause disruption
