Red Bull Salzburg gained a brilliant starting point in the second qualification round for the Champions League. The team of the former Bochum coach Thomas Letsch won 4: 1 (0: 1) at the Norwegian runner -up Bergen and demonstrated morality and efficiency in the second half. The third qualifying round against Club Bruges is now waving to the Austrian runner-up, but at least participating in the league of the Europa League.
Two earlier Bundesliga professionals were successful for the guests: the ex-Mainz Karim Onisiwo (61st) scored 2-1 by flight headball, the former Union striker Yorbe (87th) dusted 3-1. Previously, Dorgeles Nene (58.) had the equalization with a remarkable volley, the end pointed Maurits Kjaergaard (90.+2) by penalty. Saevar Atli Magnusson (20th) had given the Norwegians in the lead after a serious mistake by Jacob Rasmussen.
To participate in the premium class league class, the Salzburgers, which were only used a few weeks ago at the club World Cup, have to survive two further qualification rounds. If this succeeds, they would have been represented in the Champions League for the seventh time in a row. The second leg will take place in Austria next week.
