Red Bull Salzburg beats Pafos 1‑0 after rain‑delayed Europa League qualifier
The third‑round Europa League qualifier between Red Bull Salzburg and Pafos FC was halted after about 15 minutes because of torrential rain that flooded the Red Bull Arena. After a two‑hour pause the match resumed and Salzburg secured a 1‑0 victory thanks to a late goal from Haris Tabaković in the 88th minute. Coach Danny Röhl described the win as “expensive” after several Salzburg players suffered injuries, most notably Enrique Aguilar, who broke his forearm.
In the same qualification round, Austria Wien earned a 2‑1 away win over Beitar Jerusalem, with goals from Vasilije Marković and Sanel Saljic. Rapid Vienna also prepared for its Conference League qualifier against Paide Linnameeskond.
The rain‑induced interruption highlighted the challenges of the early‑season European cup schedule for Austrian clubs.
