Game recap
The Red Bulls started the game with the same line-up as on Friday in Székesfehérvár (five players were missing due to injury) and it started as planned. Troy Bourke's pass to the onrushing Lucas Thaler and he hammered the shot into the corner of the net in an unstoppable manner for the 21-year-old Tyrolean goalkeeper Markus Gratzer (2nd). Salzburg dominated the game, but the visitors had their chances via breakaways. Corey Mackin was denied by Atte Tolvanen (6'), but three minutes later Sascha Bauer completed his short solo run to equalize the score at 1:1 (9'). Apart from that, it was all Red Bulls, who went ahead again. Tyler Lewington scored from half-distance into the half-empty goal after the goalie and defender got in each other's way (12'). This was followed by another solo effort by the visitors, this time Mark Rassell was stopped by Atte Tolvanen (15). Peter Schneider then increased the lead in the power play with a concealed shot from the slot and made it 3:1 at the break, which could have been even higher considering the course of the game.
The visitors continued to play seemingly unfazed. Shortly after the restart (22'), they got well in front of goal on an attack and this time Mark Rassel made the most of his chance. Salzburg's Andrew Rowe had the next great opportunity with a one-timer from the slot (24'). The Red Bulls kept the pressure on, but Innsbruck now played along in phases and became really dangerous on another powerplay. As the third progressed, however, the home side really pinned their visitors back in their own zone. The Red Bulls looked for the way to goal, shot a lot and went for the rebounds, interrupted only by occasional counter-attacks by the visitors, which were then highly dangerous. After 40 minutes, the Red Bulls held on to their 3:2 lead and now had difficulties breaking down the tight Tyrolean defense.
Salzburg stepped up the intensity again in the final third, forcing the visitors to defend throughout the first few minutes. The Red Bulls created a number of good chances, but were unable to capitalize - some of them too complicated. The visitors then did just that, equalizing shortly after a power play with Mark Rassell's second goal of the day from an acute angle to make it 3:3 (50). The Red Bulls had the answer and it was Scott Kosmachuk. Salzburg's youngest new signing scored solo and regained the lead with his first goal for the Red Bulls. In the end, Salzburg defended the result against six outfield players, with Atte Tolvanen having to make a few more tackles, and were ultimately delighted with a hard-earned 3-pointer against the Innsbruck Sharks.
Interviews Lucas Thaler & Oliver David
Statement Lucas Thaler
“We came out of the dressing room well and got on the scoreboard quickly. We let up a bit in the second period, but luckily Scott shot us to victory in the end. We have to learn to keep playing well when we have a lead, even though we've improved recently. But a two-goal lead isn't much in field hockey, as we saw again today.”
