Nate Jaqua and Cashpoint Altach were brought back to earth at Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday night, dropping a comprehensive 4-0 decision to the T-Mobile Bundesliga holders.

The American forward went the distance, but was unable to score in a third consecutive game to start his Austrian career.

The visitors arrived in fine form, having claimed four points from title contenders the last two rounds, but it all came crashing down in Salzburg.

Jaqua nearly had a great chance in the opening minute, but Ibrahim Sekagya hustled over to do away with a cross before the former Houston Dynamo could connect in the area.

Red Bull then started the party early, with Markus Steinhöfer running the flank to serve for an Alexander Zickler conversion on eight minutes.

After Altach keeper Mario Krassnitzer did well to stop a Christoph Leitgeb long range try, Marc Janko doubled the home lead four minutes shy of the break thanks to some fine industry from Patrik Ježek.

Salzburg continued to lean on their guests, and in the 72nd minute, Zickler finally added his second and league-best 15th of the season from another Steinhöfer set-up.

Sekagya rounded off the scoring nine minutes from time after being teed up by former PSV Eindhoven man Johann Vonlanthen.

Altach return to league play quickly with a Saturday visit from seventh place SV Ried.
