The game restarted immediately after the goal celebrations. The Red Bull Salzburg players went straight into a relentless attacking mode like a pack of hungry predators that had just caught the scent of their favorite prey. They even compelled all the Rosenborg players to return to their own half, save for Nicki Nielsen, the center-forward. Their wing play was phenomenal, with both the uncanny Sadio Mane and the resourceful Kevin Kampl constantly darting on the flanks and floating teasing crosses into the box. They were a tricky side for sure.
Coach Boyd Johansen, Rosenborg's head coach, was standing on the sidelines — in Rosenborg's technical area watching the goings-on on the pitch with utmost concentration. A slight frown framed his face as he observed the game situation leaning more and more in favor of Red Bull Salzburg with every passing minute. Be that as it may, he didn't adjust his tactics even though his team was constantly on the back foot as the match progressed.
