The two teams hardly need any time to get up to temperature. Less than three minutes are played when the neo-DFB star Karim Adeyemi brings the Red Bull Arena to a boil. It is already the third goal of the coveted 19-year-old. The wolves shake each other briefly and seek compensation. Just ten minutes later, Nmecha ensures the same situation. The game remains entertaining. Both teams play happily forward. And then Noah Okafor’s hour strikes. Twice he is spot-on in the penalty area in the manner of a striker and both times he gives Casteels no chance in the VfL box. It is the first two goals in the premier class for the ex-FCB striker. Thanks to the victory, the Austrians are at the top of Group G.
The Swiss: Kevin Mbabu and Renato Steffen are in the starting eleven for the Wolves. When Adeyemi made it 1-0, Mbabu was partly to blame, letting the young German steal the ball. In Salzburg, Noah Okafor and Philipp Köhn started from the start. Matchwinner Okafor is replaced in the 87th minute to applause.
The goals: 3. Adeyemi 1-0, 15. Nmecha 1: 1, 65. Okafor 2: 1, 77. Okafor 3: 1.
The Catalans are doing the duty against Dynamo Kiev. Defender Piqué scores the first Barça goal in the current Champions League campaign. It is the first victory for Barcelona after the two 3-0 defeats against Bayern Munich and Benfica.
The gate: 36. Pique 1-0.
