In Gambian Pair Clash in Austria
Pa Saikou Get the Better of Modou Jange
By Modou Nyang
Pa Saikou Kujabi's SV Josko Fenster Ried defeated Modou Jange's SCR Altach 3-0 on Wednesday pushing them deeper into the relegation dogfight. Ried completed a league double against Altach who currently occupies 9 position in the 10 team Austrian Bundesliga liga.
Jange's Altach put up big fight in the first half before the home side rallied in the second to score 3 straight goals, Hamdi Salihi firing a double and Daniel Toth completing the rout. But Pa Saikou did not end the match as he was sent off in the 78th minute for a second bookable offence.
Modou Jange playing in attack, first tested Ried's goalkeeper with a 11th minute strike and Hans-Peter Berger responded well to the challenge. Jange cut through the packed Ried defence and forced a powerful shot towards goal but Berger was up to the task, parrying to ball to his right for a corner. Berger who before the start of the match was presented with an award by the Austrian National League for best goalkeeper for the previous season, showed that his heroics that led to the award were not a fluke either. Altach mount pressure on the Ried defence and in the 16th minute, Roland Kirchler forced another wonder save from Berger. Berger showed his class by thwarting another succession of chances from Altach striker Patrick Mayer in the 18th and 33rd minutes.But when Altach felt they had got the breakthrough just before the end of the first half when Karsten Hutwelker beat Berger to slot home, the central blew offside.
Ried having survived a first half from a determined Altach side, made no mistake after the resumption of hostilities in the second, as leading scorer Hamdi Salihi fired them into the lead just 10 minutes into the half. Altach regrouped in a bid to avoid a repetition of their first leg home defeat to Ried back in July. And as they fought to keep their area off the threat of Altach, Pa Saikou got sent off for repeated offences. But the loss seemed to have tilted in Ried's favour as Salihi fired back to score his second late on in the 86th minute to secure all three points before Toth, rounded up the day with the third in the 90th.
SV Josko Fenster Ried this season completed played a double against SCR Altach scoring six times. Ried won their first leg encounter 3-2 away to Altach in July, with Pa Saikou Kujabi scoring Ried's opener in that epic encounter.
