In the 13th minute, Baidoo gave Salzburg the lead with a remarkable goal. But coach Thomas Letsch's team, which played in a 4-3-3 system, was not able to maintain the upper hand for long. Almost ten minutes later the first blow came when Salzburg's goalkeeper Schlager was able to parry a penalty from Varga in the 22nd minute and initially defended the lead.

A bitter outcome
