LASK Linz 2-1 Salzburg result, stats and report

Salzburg put Sturm Graz to the sword with three unanswered second-half goals, aided by a Sturm collapse in discipline and desire that left their Austrian Bundesliga rivals looking every inch the dominant side.

Hartberg twice led and looked on course for a famous result against LASK Linz, but Andrija Radulovic's brace off the bench dragged the visitors back level in a breathless 3-3 draw in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Haris Tabakovic's first-half goal settled a scrappy Europa League tie in favour of Salzburg, but Levski Sofia made life difficult and left the pitch with five yellow cards and a genuine grievance about the scoreline.

Anderlecht arrive at this Europa League clash in fine form but face a Salzburg side that has barely conceded and is carrying serious defensive resolve into Belgium.

LASK Linz have looked shaky in the Champions League and they cannot afford another poor showing. Slovan Bratislava come to Austria having won three of their last five in this competition and they will not be easy to shift.

Salzburg travel to Celje on Thursday with five Europa League matches of form behind them and a squad built to hurt teams at this level. Celje have one match of evidence at this stage of the competition, and it ended 0-2 against Bayer Leverkusen.

Sporting CP host LASK Linz in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night, with the Portuguese side under pressure to deliver a convincing performance after a mixed run of results in the competition.
