Salzburg 5-1 SK Rapid result, stats and report

WSG Tirol were simply the better side from first whistle to last, putting three past a toothless SK Rapid to take all three points in the Austrian Bundesliga. Ercan Kara, Bendegúz Bolla, and Nikolaus Wurmbrand were all on the scoresheet in a performance that told you everything you needed to know about the gap between these two sides on the night.

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.

Salzburg bossed proceedings at Ried with 68% possession and 24 shots to eight, but a late Philipp Pomer header cancelled out Karim Konaté's goal to leave the points shared in a bad-tempered Austrian Bundesliga clash.

Salzburg arrive at home on Sunday carrying genuine momentum and goals to burn. Rheindorf Altach arrive carrying a injury list that would make a physio weep.

SK Rapid arrive at Friday's Austrian Bundesliga fixture on the back of four wins from their last five, averaging over three goals per game. Hartberg have not kept a single clean sheet in their last ten matches and that is a serious problem.

Salzburg arrive at Thursday's Europa League clash having kept three clean sheets in their last four outings. AC Milan arrive having scored precisely zero goals in their only completed match of this competition.

LASK Linz arrive at Sunday's Austrian Bundesliga clash on the back of five straight wins and a defensive record that is borderline embarrassing for every opponent they have faced. SK Rapid have goals in them, but they are walking into a home side that simply does not lose right now.

Grazer AK host Salzburg on Saturday having conceded 13 goals in their last five Austrian Bundesliga matches. Salzburg arrive with four wins from five and goals flowing freely.
