Salzburg begins furiously

Leipzig had to deal with several shortcomings due to short-term injuries. In Emil Forsberg (adductors), Kevin Kampl (ankle), Marcel Sabitzer and Diego Demme (both calf weights) lacked the central midfielder. This was also noticeable for the actions of the Bundesliga team and, in the first leg, there was a lack of ideas and inspiration.

Salzburg lobbied from the start and posed problems for guests. Stefan Ilsanker and Bruma took the early yellow with fouls against Fort Hannes Wolf. The free kicks of the former Bremen Zlatko Junuzovic were not dangerous enough. Gulbrandsen (20th) had his first chance, but failed with a direct victory over Leipzig goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo.
