Dorgeles Nene scores again to keep Red Bull Salzburg in Austrian Bundesliga title chase

Dynamic and entertaining Mali national team attacker Dorgeles Nene is doing all he can to bring Red Bull Salzburg back to the top in Austria’s top flight. The Malian was on the scoresheet in spectacular fashion once again as RB Salzburg defeated Austria Wien 2-0 on Sunday.

There is never a dull moment with the 22-year-old youth produce of Red Bull feeder club Guidars FC in his native country. Needing a moment of brilliance to overcome a stubborn Austria Wien defense, Nene cut inside from the left wing and unleashed a beautiful effort from distance in the 80th minute to break the resistance of the visitors.

Petar Ratkov added another goal late on for the hosts, who remain four points back of league leaders and defending champions Sturm Graz but are now within a point of second placed Austria Wien. On Friday awaits a clash that will be crucial to determine the champion when Salzburg travel to Sturm Graz at a venue where they fell to a 5-0 thrashing earlier this season.

Nene will need to be at his best on Friday. He has four goals in his last four matches in the Championship stage and could make the difference with only three matches remaining in the campaign. Nene has twelve goals and five assists in 42 matches across all competitions this season.
