BetOdds African All Stars Swarovski Tirol v Salzburg Bundesliga Swarovski Tirol Salzburg

The 21-year old midfielder netted his maiden goal for Die Mozartstadter, with the Austrian giants coasting to a comfortable victory

Majeed Ashimeru found the back of the net for the first time in the colours of Red Bull Salzburg, in Saturdayâ€™s 5-1 drubbing of WSG Swarovski Tirol at Tivoli Stadion Tirol in the Austrian Bundesliga.

The former WAFA SC player broke the deadlock after 12 minutes, Hwang Hee-chan providing the assist.

It was all about Die Mozartstadter from this point, with Andre Ramlho and Erling Haland giving the reigning Bundesliga champions a 3-0 lead going into the break.

WSG would get one back through Salzburgâ€™s Maximilian Wober - who put the ball into this own net in the 56th minute. Jesse Marschâ€™s side was not going to be disturbed by that, however, as Hee-chan and Dominik Szobozlai (penalty), wrapped things up.

This was Ashimeruâ€™s first ever start for Salzburg since joining from WAFA SC in 2017. He had already made three competitive appearances prior to Saturdayâ€™s game, albeit from the bench.

The Ghanaian spent last season on loan at Swiss Super League outfit St. Gallen, having a hand in 15 goals (five goals, 10 assists) in 34 competitive games. He has also previously featured for Austria Lustenau and Wolfsberger AC on loan.

Salzburg have maintained a 100% record in the Bundesliga this season, winning six games with a maximum 18 points.

Ashimeru will look to put in another good show on September 14 when his team host Hartberg at the Red Bull Arena.
