WAC defeats blue and white Linz 2: 1-Nwaiwu flies from the square!

Linz, Österreich - On April 11, 2025, the Wolfsberger AC (WAC) achieved a 2-1 win in the 25th round of the Admiral Bundesliga against FC Blau-Weiß Linz. This success enables the WAC to climb fourth in the master group with 23 points, only two points behind Red Bull Salzburg. In contrast, Blau-Weiß Linz remains in last place with only 16 points and continue to fight for important points in the league.

The game started furiously for the guests from Wolfsberg. Already in the 12th minute Thierno Ballo reduced the WAC supporters with a header after he had used a precise cross from Zukic. As a result, the WAC dominated the game and showed energetic.

injuries and changes

The first half was not without difficulty for the Linz. Trainer Scheiblehner had to replace Moormann in the 31st minute, while Goiginger had to get off the pitch in the 36th minute. These injuries made it difficult to find Blau-Weiß Linz in play and increase the pressure on the WAC.

After the half -time break, the Linz team came back more. In the 49th minute, Conor Noß managed to equalize when he netted in the head after a flank from voting and thus brought back hope for a point win. The turn seemed possible, but the WAC showed its strength.

In the 76th minute, the WAC struck back: Zukic, who already assisted the first goal, scored the winning goal. The conclusion came after a strong advance from Kojzek and secured the deserved victory.

discipline and consequences

In the final phase of the encounter, there was a crucial moment when Nwaiwu saw the red card due to an assault in the 81st minute. This disciplinary measure presented the WAC with a challenge, but the deficit was ultimately successfully defended. Especially Alessandro Schöpf, who was only punished with a yellow card for a bump against the referee, played a central role in midfield and initiated the second goal with a long shot.

With this victory, the WAC maintains the master ambitions, while the Linzer have to hope for an urgently needed turn. Next Saturday there are some decisive games in the qualification group, not least the meeting of the GAK and the Altacher, both of which fight at the bottom of the table.

The international break is now over and the focus is moving back to the Bundesliga, while injury -related difficulties in the teams still have to remain in the back of the head. The current injury table shows that physical deficits can often influence the course of games and present teams with great challenges. It is undisputed that such injuries always play a role, especially when playing decisions.

For the WAC, it is about taking the momentum from this game with you, while blue and white Linz urgently needs to find solutions to get out of the misery.
