Ghanaian forward Kelvin Boateng scores in Austria Vienna defeat to Red Bull Salzburg
Ghanaian forward Kelvin Boateng found the back of the net, but it proved insufficient as Austria Vienna suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon at the Generali Arena.The visitors made a blistering start to the contest, with Bosnian teenage sensation Kerim Alajbegovic opening the scoring just three minutes into the game to hand Salzburg an early advantage.Salzburg continued to dominate proceedings and doubled their lead in the 28th minute through Cote dIvoire youngster Karim Konate, who finished off a well-worked move after being set up by Alajbegovic.Austria Vienna responded after the break and were handed a lifeline in the 61st minute when Kelvin Boateng calmly slotted home from close range.The Ghanaian forward capitalised on a neat assist from Gambian defender Abubakar Barry to reduce the deficit.However, any hopes of a comeback were quickly dashed as experienced forward Karim Onisiwo restored Salzburgs two-goal cushion moments later to seal the victory for the visitors.Boatengs strike takes his tally to three goals in 15 league appearances for Austria Vienna this season, as he continues to gain valuable minutes in the Austrian top-flight.Elsewhere, Ghanaian youngster Edmund Baidoo was named on the bench for Salzburg but remained an unused substitute throughout the encounter.
