Salzburg's advantage was doubled just six minutes later as Jonathan Soriano powered into the box before shooting past Boaz Myhill.

It was 3-0 on 65 minutes when Takumi Minamino found the bottom corner from 25 yards, but the Baggies netted a consolation soon after through Adil Rami's instinctive finish from close range.
