The start of the Cup at Hertha Wels fit in well with the usual picture: The regional league team kept up well in the first half and even made up for the 0: 1 by Bernardo with a nice volley.
But after the break, the new Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle saw an even more clearly superior defending champion. And with Benjamin Sesko the next upcoming Salzburg star. The 18-year-old striker was substituted on for the ailing Okafor.
