GAK celebrates important victory: 1-0 against LASK and relegation in sight!

On May 17, 2025, the GAK secured an important victory against LASK in the Admiral Bundesliga in the Admiral Bundesliga when they won 1-0 on matchday 31. This was a big step towards relegation for the team, which with this success increases its score to 19 and took ninth place in the table. GAK now has three points ahead of the end of the table.

The game started for the LASK with a setback: Andrade was put off the pitch in the 13th minute with a red card after he fouled Cipot. Despite the numerical superiority, GAK could not score a goal in the first half. Lichtenberger had a chance, who only hit the pole in the final minute of the first round.

key game trains in the second round

In the second half, the LASK showed an improved performance, but Zulj failed in the 61st minute with a free kick on the crossbar. In the 73rd minute, GAK finally managed to decide the game: Satin fit Cipot, who transported the ball into the net via Tormann Schützenauer.

The LASK continues to run the qualification group with 37 points and hibernated as third in the table in the previous season. After this defeat, the team has to work on their efficiency to find their way back to old strength.

talents and transfers in Austrian football

An interesting development has also been shown by the transfers: Gabriel Zirngast, a 21-year-old midfielder, was awarded to GAK in 1902 for a year and a half. This loan agreement with LASK runs until summer 2025 and includes a purchase option for the GAK. Zirngast made his debut on September 17, 2022 under coach Dietmar Kühbauer in the Bundesliga, but spent most missions in the Mitte regional league, where he played 38 games for the amateurs with 12 goals.

Currently the GAK is the league leader of the 2nd league and is already eight points ahead of the pursuer SV Guntamatic Ried, which underlines the development of the team. In the meantime, the LASK has some challenges with the loss of Andrade and the submission of talents.

In another part of Austrian football, Marlon Mustapha Greuther Fürth left prematurely. The loan to Como 1907 ended, and in the future Mustapha will play in the Austrian league after making an agreement on loan by 2026 with Altach. For Mustapha, a solution for basic military service should also be found in order to avoid possible legal problems.

How the developments in Austrian football will continue remains to be seen. The situation at the top of the table and the transfer decisions could be pioneering for the coming seasons.
