Late defeat against Basaksehir

No success in second friendly of the day

 Our team suffered another defeat in the second friendly of the day, losing 1-2 against Turkish side Basaksehir. Adam Daghim scored our goal.

Our second friendly was against the fifth-placed team from last season's Süper Lig, who are currently training in Geinberg in preparation for the upcoming season and need to gradually build up their form. Next week, Nuri Sahin's team will face the winner of Sarajevo (BIH) vs. Turku (FIN) in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. The match started at a good pace, charecterised by quick passing sequences, a fast pace, and good scoring opportunities. Eddie Baidoo, in particular, used his speed on Salzburg's right flank to create several dangerous chances. While Christian Zawieschitzky thwarted a great chance for Basaksehir after about five minutes, the speedy Adam Daghim was denied by the Turkish goalkeeper shortly afterwards. It was then our keeper who intervened again to knock a header from Yildirim away from the line. Just before half-time, however, the breakthrough came: referee Walter Altmann missed a foul on Abubakr Barry, allowing Yildirim to get the ball and slot home for a 1-0 lead.
