Karim Konaté was the star of the show as he scored a brace to lead RB Salzburg to a crucial 2-0 victory over Feyenoord in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Ivorian international’s clinical performance helped the Austrian side secure their first points in the competition after a tough start.
Having drawn three of their opening fixtures without scoring, Salzburg’s European campaign had been underwhelming.
However, Konaté’s timely intervention changed the course of their season.
The 22-year-old forward opened the scoring in the dying moments of the first half, netting in the 45+2 minute to give his team a vital lead heading into the break.
His second goal came shortly after the restart, when he struck again in the 58th minute to double Salzburg’s advantage.
Konaté’s standout display earned him the title of Man of the Match, as his goals played a key role in securing the much-needed three points.
His performance was not just vital for Salzburg’s prospects in the group stage but also demonstrated his ability to deliver when it mattered most on the European stage.
This victory marks a turning point for Salzburg, who had struggled in their earlier matches.
The win over Feyenoord could be the boost they need to push forward in the competition, with Konaté emerging as one of their key players.
With the two goals against Feyenoord, Konaté continues to establish himself as a promising talent for both his club and his national team, further cementing his reputation as a potent forward on the European stage.
