Red Bull Salzburg went down 3-1 to LASK in Linz on Friday evening. The champions put in an inferior performance for long stretches and disappointed across the board. The Salzburg players' grades in detail.

Alexander Schlager: Grade 3
The goalkeeper was the only player in the starting eleven to make no mistakes. But was unable to save a single ball.

Aleksa Terzic: Grade 1
Where was the Serbian before the second goal? Acted erratically, had huge problems with his opponents.

Oumar Solet: Grade 1
The Frenchman made some hair-raising passing errors. Did not cut a good figure over 90 minutes.

Strahinja Pavlovic: Grade 1
What applies to Solet also applies to his colleague. Was not a factor at all in defense and, like everyone else in the back four, had a bad day.

Pavlovic (right), like the entire back four, had a pitch-black evening in Linz.

Daouda Guindo: Grade 1
Blamed for the penalty that made it 0:1. The left-back made many other mistakes. Looked extremely insecure.

Lucas Gourna-Douath: Grade 2
Performed even better than some of his teammates. But even the record signing was unable to control the midfield.

Mads Bidstrup: Grade 2
Tireless as always. But he hardly managed anything in 90 minutes.

Luka Sucic: Grade 1
The left-footer was unable to demonstrate his creativity at any stage of the game. Very weak performance.

Scoring key

6 = Ready for the team

5 = Very strong

4 = Strong

3 = Average

2 = Weak

1 = Not his day

0 = Used too briefly

Oscar Gloukh: Grade 2
The 20-year-old also clearly fell short of his potential. Remained largely invisible on the pitch.

Sekou Koita: Grade 1
Surprisingly made the starting eleven and had a great chance in the first minute. Otherwise, however, he did very little.

Koita (2nd from left) was a surprise inclusion in the starting eleven, but missed a huge chance right at the start.

Karim Konate:Grade1
Active in the early stages, then hung in the air in the LASK backline.

Amar Dedic: Grade 1
The designated captain was supposed to replace the weak Terzic at right-back and provide stability. However, he did not succeed at all.

Petar Ratkov: Grade 2
The tall striker did a better job than Koita before him. It was nothing more than piecemeal work.

Amankwah Forson: Grade 4
His substitution gave the Bulls some momentum.

Dorgeles Nene: 5
Cosmetic result with his dream goal in the closing stages. Even scored the equalizer shortly afterwards. Best Salzburg player at LASK.
