Red Bull Salzburg took over possession of the fixture in the remaining 30 minutes and scored two late goals to record a sweet home win to keep their title-winning hopes alive.
Ivorian international Karim Konate snatched the equalizer for the hosts with a beautiful header in the 84th minute before the Ghanaian made it 2-1 two minutes later.
Baidoo calmly handed Red Bull Salzburg the deserving victory with his fine strike in the 86th minute of the game.
