Salzburg smashes Ried in the home game: 4-1 and lead the table!
On November 23, 2025, FC Red Bull Salzburg celebrated another victory and defeated SV Ried 4-1. This result not only makes the fans happy, but also catapults the team to first place in the Austrian league. Despite the rainy weather, the backdrop was impressive: almost 10,000 spectators found their way into the Red Bull Arena to watch the exciting game. Samerberger News reports that the author's last encounter in the arena was over two years ago, when Salzburg celebrated its tenth championship title in a row and qualified for the Champions League.
However, the path to victory was not without obstacles. FC Salzburg has had to cope with a number of departures in recent times, including talents like Šeško and Seiwald, who have left noticeable gaps in the team. Nevertheless, the team appeared to be well positioned. Coach Thomas Letsch seems to have prepared the team well for the challenges ahead after Salzburg recently had to go to extra time in a cup game against WSG Tirol.
The game in review
The start of the match could hardly have gone better: Clement Bischoff scored for the hosts in the first minute. But the joy didn't last long as Kingstone Mutandwa equalized for Ried. The performance of substitute goalkeeper Christian Zawieschitzky was particularly impressive, keeping Salzburg in the game when things got tough. In the last minute of the first half, Sota Kitano put Salzburg back in the lead and gave the spectators a little peace before the break.
The second half finally went the Red Bulls' way. After Ried player Havenaar had to leave the field with a red card, Salzburg was able to pull away thanks to Edmund Baidoo and Petar Ratkov. The positive result was also helped by the fact that Sturm Graz lost to Rapid Vienna at the same time, which secured Salzburg's lead in the table.
Offspring and future
Despite the success, some talent was missing from the squad. Kerim Alajbegović and Frans Krätzig were not there, and regular players like Lainer and Kjærgaard were also rested. Alexander Schlager was also battling a cold. This shows how important the existing young talents are in closing the gaps in the squad.
The next challenges for Salzburg are already just around the corner. On November 6th, the team will play in the Europa League against the Go Ahead Eagles, followed by another important duel against Sturm Graz next Sunday. If Salzburg continues to perform so well, they could have an exciting season ahead of them.
FC Red Bull Salzburg, originally founded in 1933 as SV Austria Salzburg and renamed several times, has established itself as a powerhouse in Austrian football over the years.
The traditional history of the club, which extends from its founding, through its dissolution and the successful years, especially under the takeover by Red Bull, suggests that there is still a lot of potential here. The successes in Europe and the continuous development of the players also speak for the clever management of the club. Wikipedia provides a comprehensive overview of the impressive history and the numerous titles that the club has collected over the years.
