In the OFB Cup match between SV Austria Salzburg and SVG Reichenau, SVG Reichenau emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, primarily driven by their efficiency in front of goal and a disciplined defensive structure. Despite SV Austria Salzburg dominating the statistical category of corner kicks with a total of 7 against Reichenau's 3, they were unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities. Salzburg's inability to convert these chances into goals highlighted a lack of clinical finishing, even though they had several opportunities to impact the game from dead-ball situations.

SVG Reichenau's early first-half goal at 22:41 set the tone for the match, showcasing their ability to strike efficiently when given the opportunity. Salzburg quickly responded with an equalizer at 29:22, indicating resilience and strong attacking intent. However, the second half saw Reichenau breaking the deadlock again at 85:21, a lapse indicative of Salzburg's defensive frailties and possibly fatigue at the latter stages of the game. Salzburg’s yellow cards, especially the third one at 59:00, could have compounded their defensive issues by disrupting team cohesion and focus.

In terms of discipline, both teams were equally matched, each accumulating three yellow cards. However, SVG Reichenau displayed slightly better control over physical play with 16 fouls against Salzburg's 14, but without conceding critical positions for set-pieces. Reichenau’s disciplined approach extended to their offsides as well, where they were caught offside only twice compared to Salzburg's three times, further reflecting Reichenau's structured and cautious attacking play.

Ultimately, the deciding factor was SVG Reichenau's ability to convert their limited chances into decisive goals and maintaining tight defensive units to thwart Salzburg's numerous attacking forays. The second-half goal at 85:21 was a testament to SVG Reichenau’s perseverance and strategic game management, securing their place in the next round of the OFB Cup while Salzburg will reflect on missed set-piece opportunities and critical defensive lapses.
