The hosts moved to six points from five games, while their visitors remain on four after six defeats in their last three outings.K. Wienerroither broke the deadlock in the 37th minute with a well-taken goal that put the home side ahead.

And here's the thing about these opening rounds — you can see which teams have truly prepared for the campaign.
E. Kobler doubled the advantage in the 66th minute, and this time the game was effectively over. Linz had made a substitution in the 46th minute through V. Sprung, but the visitors simply couldn't find any foothold. The hosts were in control of the tie from that point on, and the result reflected their superiority.

Spinn early at 20 minutes, while A. Pamminger came on in the 61st minute to help manage the final quarter.
Salzburg now sit fifth with six points from five matches, having lost three of their previous outings. Linz occupy sixth place with four points, but their recent form suggests they have work to do. The gap between the sides was evident from the first whistle, and this result may prove decisive in how both teams view their season prospects.
