Match Report
Salzburg made light work of the second leg, brushing aside Mjällby 3-0 at home to turn a slender aggregate edge into a comfortable Europa League playoff win. The standout moment came from Karim Konaté, who scored twice in six second-half minutes to break the deadlock.
The first half stayed goalless despite Salzburg's control, but Konaté struck in the 61st minute before adding a header in the 67th, set up by Edmund Baidoo. Haris Tabakovic wrapped things up in the 80th minute. Konaté was forced off with an injury shortly after his double, while Mjällby picked up three yellow cards for rough challenges as frustration grew.
The win sends Salzburg through 4-0 on aggregate and into the Europa League league phase, continuing the Austrian side's habit of navigating summer qualifiers comfortably. For Mjällby, the Swedish champions' European adventure ends at the playoff stage, a battling display not enough to trouble Salzburg once they found their rhythm at home.
