The Owls conceded two unanswered goals in each half as their hosts ran riot, Wednesday trying out new things on the field as they sought to break lines against a side well versed in high-pressing - at Champions League level no less. With 11 subs made at half-time and plenty of miles in the legs, the 4-0 score line does not mean Wednesday will not have got plenty out of the battle against a side operating on a different level.
There was plenty of effort shown and some bright moments in Bavaria. Here are our player ratings from the Red Bull Arena.

Hit the by-line a couple of times early doors but faded as Salzburg began to dominate. | UGC / Steve Ellis
11. Bailey Cadamarteri - 5
Fed off scraps in a character-building first half - along with the others - a couple of touches prevented something more perhaps. Got Wednesday's best chance but couldn't beat the keeper. | Steve Ellis / UGC
12. George Shelvey - 6
The former Nottingham Forest keeper / free agent made some good saves, but also played himself - and the team - into trouble twice within a minute or so. | JC / UGC
