After that, the flow of the game slowed down somewhat. Salzburg showed little in the way of offense until the half-time whistle, while the visitors were virtually invisible – until the last action: First, a deflected Diabaté shot landed next to the goal, then after the resulting corner, Salzburg keeper Alexander Schlager, who was standing well off his line, was almost caught out by Benjamin Markus, who was positioned on the center circle. However, to the relief of the home side, Markus‘ ball flew high over Schlager and over the bar.
