Majeed Ashimeru had a mixed match for Red Bull Salzburg as he provided an assist and missed a penalty in their 6-0 win over Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga on Saturday.

Red Bull Salzburg broke the deadlock after just five minutes on the clock through Sekou Koita.

In the 11th minute, Majeed Ashimeru picked out Patson Daka from a tight angle. The Zambian youngster made no mistake as he smartly put the ball beyond the reach of goalkeeper Reuf Durakovic to make it 2-1 for the Bulls.

Daka grabbed his second of the afternoon in the 24th with a simple finish.

Ashimeru was presented with an opportunity to score his third league goal after the hosts were awarded a penalty in the 53rd minute, but the Ghanaian fluffed his line before Daka, Smail Prevljak and Chan Hwang-Hee scored in the 51st, 86th and 89th minute respectively to seal a 6-0 victory for Red Bull Salzburg.

The win helped the hosts extend their lead at the summit of the log to 28 points after 10 games — 8 points more than second placed team LASK Linz —who have a game in hand.
