Red Bull Salzburg (W) 0-0 SpVgg Greuther Furth (W) | International Club Friendly

A tightly contested pre-season friendly at the Akademie Salzburg saw both Red Bull Salzburg Women and SpVgg Greuther Furth Women play out a goalless draw on July 25, 2026. The match provided valuable preparation for both sides ahead of their respective league campaigns, with defensive organization taking centre stage.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, it was clear that both teams were focused on building fitness and sharpness rather than taking unnecessary risks. The first half saw few clear-cut chances, with Salzburg’s midfield trio working hard to break Furth’s compact defensive lines. The German visitors, meanwhile, relied on quick transitions, but their final ball often lacked precision.

Key Moments

• 12th minute: A corner from Salzburg’s left wing found the head of defender Lena Schlosser, but her effort sailed just over the crossbar.
• 39th minute: Furth’s best chance came when striker Julia Pollak intercepted a loose pass and drove into the box, only to see her shot saved by Salzburg goalkeeper Anna Riesinger.
• 76th minute: Substitute forward Katharina Brückner forced a sharp save from Furth keeper Lara Sturm with a long-range drive.

Tactical Story

Salzburg dominated possession, particularly in the second half, as they pushed for a winner. However, Furth’s disciplined backline, marshalled by centre-back Miriam Koch, held firm. The Austrian side lacked a cutting edge in the final third, while Furth struggled to create sustained pressure on the counter. Both managers would have been pleased with the defensive solidity shown by their teams.

Standout Players

• Miriam Koch (SpVgg Greuther Furth) – A composed presence at the back, making several crucial interceptions and clearances.
• Anna Riesinger (Red Bull Salzburg) – Assured handling when called upon, including a vital stop in the first half.

Match Impact

For Salzburg, this result continues a solid pre-season campaign as they prepare for the Frauen-Bundliga (Austria) title defence. Furth, meanwhile, will take confidence from keeping a clean sheet against a top-tier opponent. Both teams will look to sharpen their attacking movements in upcoming friendlies.
