AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
The deadlock persisted for almost the entire match until the 90+1st minute, when Tom Pettersson turned the ball into his own net to hand Salzburg a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish. It proved to be the decisive and only moment of note in a match that had otherwise offered little in the way of clear-cut chances.
Salzburg dominated territory throughout, controlling 69 percent of possession and forcing eight shots on target compared to Mjallby's single effort. The home side, managed by Karl Aksum, committed more fouls and picked up the match's only yellow card, while Danny Rohl's Salzburg also held the edge in corners, six to two, reflecting their greater control without translating it into goals until the very end.
Salzburg's dominance was underlined by an eight-to-one advantage in shots on target over Mjallby.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Mjallby AIF 27%, the draw 22%, Red Bull Salzburg 51%. It finished Mjallby AIF 0–1 Red Bull Salzburg.
Red Bull Salzburg's rating gap outweighs Mjallby AIF's home ground — Red Bull Salzburg are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Red Bull Salzburg's 51%. The draw at 22% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Red Bull Salzburg at 51%?
Red Bull Salzburg sit 230 points higher on our strength rating — 1481 to 1711. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 6,029 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 21–26–53.
Why only 51%?
UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (22.8% vs 24.9% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 47.5% of 4,414 games vs 44.9% across all 99,157 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.1%. Not enough recent scoring data to set the goals dial — the draw stays at the class table's rate. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off.
