SV Grodig 2–5 SV Austria Salzburg: Friendly Goal Fest

SV Austria Salzburg demonstrated their attacking firepower with a 5–2 friendly victory over regional rivals SV Grodig on 14 July 2026. The match, played at the Untersberg Arena in Grodig, provided an entertaining spectacle despite its pre‑season status.

Austria Salzburg raced into a three‑goal lead inside the first half‑hour. Midfielder Florian Wiedl opened the scoring from distance, followed by a quick double from striker Patrick Schwaiger. Grodig pulled one back before half‑time through a penalty converted by captain Alexander Erlach, but Austria Salzburg restored their three‑goal cushion early in the second half thanks to a header from a corner. The visitors added a fifth in the 70th minute, with Grodig netting a late consolation via a deflected free‑kick.

Austria Salzburg’s fluid movement and crisp passing overwhelmed the Grodig defence, which looked disorganised at times. Grodig’s manager will have plenty to work on defensively, but the team’s willingness to keep playing – and scoring two goals – showed character. The friendly was part of a double‑header weekend for both sides.

With the Regionalliga start only weeks away, Austria Salzburg will hope to carry this momentum into competitive matches.
