Sebastian Soto at Austria Klagenfurt

Please, have some respect for the USL!

That's the USL League 1, not the USL Championship.

 

Soto starts a competitive football match today, in a cup match against LASK.

 

Started, but not for long:

Pacult felt compelled to make an early change: Soto made way for Florian Rieder (37').

No further info in the report: https://www.skaustriaklagenfurt.at/news/traum-vom-finale-daham-geplatzt-2402

They lost 1-0.

 

Hard to construe "subbed out in the 37th" as anything better than "not good".

 

Or injured.

 

I meant that there's no circumstance that could be described as more positive than "not good"--injury included.

 

yeah, it just reads that the coach felt obligated to make a change in the 37th minute. The tenor of how it’s written doesn’t sound like a player injury, but it isn’t really clear. Intriguing!

Soto is lost. His 90' for the reserves yesterday is the first time he's even made a bench--any bench--since Feb 25.

 

Scored in a friendly:

Played the 2nd half in a 3-0 loss to RB Salzburg.

 

That's progress!

 

Soto subs in around the 56' and almost immediately scores a goal.

Soto starts and plays the first 68 minutes of a 2-1 win.

 

Soto subs on against LASK in the 51st minute, trailing 1-0 ...



And inspires them to a 4-0 loss.

 

That's more like it!

In the last 9 games he's made 9 appearances with 6 starts and he's gone 60+ minutes in all of his starts, 3 of them 90 minutes or close to it. He's doing this for a team that's made the cut for the champion's group.

That's the good news. Unfortunately, he's got only 1 goal and 0 assits.

Let's see what next season brings, but things are, finally, starting to look up for him

 

Out with an injury in the 17th.

Subbed off in the 17th minute. There were leading, but lost to RB Salzburg 3-2.

 

That's great news!

Oops. You spoke too soon, @The Irish Rover!

 

Jinxed him.

 

Scored in a 4-1 friendly loss:

Im dritten Testspiel der Sommer-Vorbereitung auf die Saison 23/24 hat die Austria Klagenfurt die erste Niederlage hinnehmen müssen. Am Freitag unterlagen die Violetten mit schweren Beinen dem Zweitligisten @FCLiefering mit 1:4 (1:1).
