Reflection for GAK: players celebrate with beer and anticipation in Mallorca!
The Grazer AK will remain in the Austrian Bundesliga in the coming season. After an exciting last game of the season, the WSG Tirol team separated 1-1. The GAK thus secures the whereabouts in the league on its own, despite a chance of relegation before the game. Trainer Ferdinand Feldhofer had issued the relegation as a clear goal, which has now been successfully achieved.
The game started promising for the GAK. Dominik Frieser brought the team through a goal in the 25th minute, which he achieved after a cross from Lichtenberger. But the joy lasted briefly, because four minutes later Stefan Skrbo equalized for WSG Tirol. After this goal, the game flattened and both teams managed the result until the final whistle.

Perchtold switched from SKN St. Pölten to GAK in 2017 and has played 261 games for the club since then. With a feeling of relief about relegation, the players sat on their way back to Styria after the game on the bus, where celebrations with beer and a anticipation for a vacation in Mallorca are planned.
coach Feldhofer said happily about the development of the team after the game. Lukas Graf, player of the GAK, described the season as challenging with ups and downs and was pleased with the successful relegation. This was ensured by the additional point in the last game against WSG Tyrol, which brought the GAK into a comfortable position.
