Super Bulls

Red Bull Salzburg got off to a perfunctory start of the Bundesliga season with a 6-0 demolition of SV Mattersburg. In a flowing orchestration, new manager Co Adriaanse, pushed the team forward in a ruthless attacking style using a 4-3-3 assault. The squad possess a high pedigree roster of internationally capped players such as Croatian captain Niko Kovač, Serbian Saša Ilić and Japan’s Tsuneyasu Miyamoto as well as Austria’s own Ronald Gërçaliu, Christoph Leitgeb and René Aufhauser

The man-of-the-match was certainly the always prolific Striker Marc Janko who drove three goals (32 pen; 35, 50) into the back of the net as if an exclamation point on the question of why he was left off the national squad. Somen Tchoyi, a new addition to the squad opened the campaign with resounding header off a set-piece by Austrian Ernst Öbster at the eleven minute mark. It was a stunning debut for Somen who just joined the club from Stabæk Fotball of the Norwegian Premier League. The other goals came from twenty year-old Cameroonian Striker Louis Ngwat-Mahop (38) while AZ, FC Utrecht veteran Robin Nelisse netted the final goal of the match at the seventy-first minute.

These Super Bulls take on defending champion Rapid Wien in Vienna on Saturday. Rapid Wien started the season off with a dreary 3-1 loss to SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz.
