After ten league games without defeat, Austria lost the top match of the Bundesliga against Red Bull Salzburg. Here are the comments on the game:

Aleksandar Dragovic (Austria captain via Sky): "We slept through the first twenty minutes - that's the only reason we lost! Of course we're disappointed, we really wanted to take the flow with us, but Salzburg also have quality. We lacked the final bite, the final punch. That hurts."

Stephan Helm (Austria coach): "I think that, despite everything, a little more would have been possible with a bit of luck. Our decision-making wasn't good enough at the start and we conceded a goal from the first counter-attack. That was an impact goal. We staggered, but we put everything we had into it, even in the second half when we had our situations. We should have got more out of that. We didn't reach our top level. That's a shame because we could have at least taken a point."

Thomas Letsch (Salzburg coach): "We fully deserved to win the game. All in all, Austria had more possession, but we only really conceded one and a half situations. The only annoying thing is that we didn't decide it earlier. We were the more aggressive team, we were keen to win the game. You saw a team that fought for each other, that wanted it badly."
