Salzburg triumphs at the start of the club World Cup and takes the lead!

The Austrian team thus shows a strong performance and now leads the table of group H. Oscar Gloukh scored the first goal in the 43rd minute, according to a precise submission by Valentin Sulzbacher. After a storm came up in the game and the second half had to be interrupted more than an hour, Pachuca managed to equalize in the 56th minute by Bryan Gonzalez.

But Salzburg could not be kept down for long. Karim Onisiwo, who was substituted in the 55th minute, scored the decisive winning goal in the 76th minute, this time after a fine pass from Mads Bidstrup. Salzburg not only secured the first win at the club World Cup, but also set an important exclamation mark for the upcoming games.
