In the end, LASK's Conference League opener against Djurgarden ended in a disappointing 2-2 draw. Coach Markus Schopp was not satisfied after the final whistle. They had not achieved what they had set out to do. 

Markus Schopp (LASK coach): "From the very first minute, it was a game in which my team did little of what we had planned. They looked nervous and undisciplined. In certain phases, they looked for solutions that we hadn't discussed. Of course, we had a bitter loss early on (Moses Usor, ed.), which certainly had an impact. Unfortunately, we're very bad at dealing with situations like that. We scored two goals thanks to our individual quality, but at the end of the day it's absolutely deserved that our opponents equalized."

Valon Berisha (LASK goalscorer): "I think we play a good game until the 55th minute. They had almost nothing in the first half. We also started the second half very well and made it 2-0. After the early three changes, there was very little going on, to be honest. We became passive and conceded a lot. We had no pressure on the ball, which makes them a good team. The way they pushed in the second half, we should be happy that we at least got a point."
