About two weeks after signing with the Salzburg league club SAK, former Bulls star Zlatko Junuzovic celebrated his debut on Friday. In the surprising 2-1 defeat in the first round of the Landescup in Plainfeld, the 35-year-old was on the field for 90 minutes and was then even celebrated by the opposing fans.
After his vacation, Zlatko Junuzovic, who will play for SAK in the future, started training during the week. After two units, the first test was on the program on Friday. The SAK was a guest at the state league club Plainfeld and went into the game as the favorite. “After a strong initial phase, we found it very difficult on the small pitch,” explains SAK board member Walter Larionows, whose new star repeatedly showed his class, but also had his problems against Plainfelder. “Zlatko played a very good game. He had little room to develop, but still prepared some dangerous scenes,” says Larionows.
Ex-goalie puts Plainfeld in the lead
A former SAK player provided the first highlight in the 36th minute. Nino Lesjak, who switched from goal to field in the summer, works the ball right into the short corner after a short corner – 1:0. In the second round, the 200 or so spectators continued to see a racy game, in the 80th minute SAK new signing Elias Berbalk was able to equalize. However, it was not enough for the favorite to progress. Plainfeld striker Raphael Haas made it 2-1 just two minutes after conceding. “Sensational for us. Our boys showed a very strong game and made the sensation possible,” said Plainfeld’s sporting director Lukas Kuon, who played for SAK for many years in his active career.
Plainfeld fans cheer Junuzovic
Despite the defeat, Junuzovic still had nice moments after the final whistle. The Plainfeld spectators said goodbye to the ex-professional with applause in the dressing room. “An excellent footballer. Every pass works, but he will need time to get used to his new team. He will play a prominent role in the Salzburg league,” said Kuon, whose team now meets arch-rival Thalgau in the second round of the cup.
