Red Bull from Salzburg had to concede superiority to Sturm in the senior league after a long decade, but they claimed the youth national championship title again this year. They successfully sealed the battle in their penultimate match of the season, defeating Tirol 4-1 at home. Among the notable players was young Slovenian – Kristjan Bendra, who scored one of the four goals for Red Bull Salzburg.
The 18-year-old Slovenian youth international, who has a professional contract with Salzburg until 2026, started the match against Tirol in the home team’s starting eleven and played until the 80th minute. He scored in the 51st minute, giving the Mozart city club a 2-1 lead.
Kristjan Bendra – having already won his fifth national championship title with Salzburg – has played 257 matches in the youth categories in Austria so far, scoring 65 times.
