Austrian Salzburg, who are making their first appearance (like other teams) at the Club World Cup, managed to defeat Pachuca in a thriller. They started their Group 8 campaign at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati with success.
The match had all the makings of a great football thriller. Oscar Gloukh opened the scoring for Salzburg in the 42nd minute. However, the restart of the second half was delayed by more than an hour due to lightning and heavy rain in the Cincinnati area.
Once the match resumed, Pachuca equalized with Bryan Gonzalez in the 47th minute, giving new life to the match. Gonzalez executed a direct free kick, with the ball going over the wall and surprising the Salzburg goalkeeper, writing 1-1.
Despite its chances, especially with captain Salomon Rodon (he came close to scoring in the 31st minute but the ball hit the post), the Mexican team was unable to turn the situation around.
The solution for the Austrian team came from
Karim Onisivo. The experienced striker, who came on as a substitute for Baidu in the second half, scored the decisive goal in the 76th minute, giving Salzburg its first victory in Group H of the tournament.
18-year-old Zawiesicki decisive
Meanwhile, 18-year-old goalkeeper Christian Zawiesicki, on his debut for Salzburg, made crucial saves and kept his team in the game at crucial points. He had important interventions in the first half, stopping Salomon Rondon and Elias Montiel twice.
