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

Salzburg took an early lead in the 5th minute of the game courtesy clock through Sekou Koita strike before Ashimeru picked out Patson Daka in the 11th minute with a perfect inch pass as Daka smartly put the ball beyond the reach of goalkeeper Reuf Durakovic to make it 2-0 for the Bulls.

Daka bagged his second 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 Salzburg.

The win extended their lead at the top of the table with 28 points after 10 games — eight points more than second placed team LASK Linz —who have one game less.
