Wolfsberger AC 1-1 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.

Wolfsberger AC dominated the basics and punished a porous Ried defence to run out convincing 4-1 winners in the Austrian Bundesliga, with Ante Bajic and Isaac Kiese Thelin leading the charge.

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.

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.

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.

Wolfsberger AC have not won in five Austrian Bundesliga matches and have conceded nine goals in that run. WSG Tirol arrive with two wins from their last three. Something has to give.

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.
