SALZBURG, Austria (Interstat) — Austria Salzburg and FC Flyeralarm Admira played to a scoreless draw in their 2. Liga season opener Saturday at Max Aicher Stadion. The match, which defied statistical projections favoring the home side, was a defensive stalemate.

Both teams finished with 10 men after a double booking in the 60th minute, with Admira’s Marinko Sorda and Salzburg’s Turgay Gemicibaşi each receiving yellow cards. The result leaves each club with an identical record across all competitions this season: zero wins, zero losses and one draw. Interstat’s pregame simulator had projected a 2-1 Admira victory, while its ELO system gave Salzburg a 79.8% chance to win. Neither forecast proved accurate as the teams split the points.
