Hartberg fights for 2-2 against Tyrol - Frebier for the fans!

On May 17, 2025, the highly expected duel between TSV Hartberg and WSG Tirol took place in the Profertil Arena.

Before the game, Hartberg was in second place in the qualification group, six points ahead of WSG Tirol. A tie would have secured the duel around the European Cup play-off with the LASK. Coach Manfred Schmid von Hartberg emphasized the good form of his team, which had achieved two wins and three draws in the last five league games. However, Justin Omoregie was missing due to a lock.

The course of the game

The kick -off in the Profertil Arena was led by referee Alain Sadikovski, supported by Mohamed El Sadany, Amina Gutschi and the fourth official Isa Simsek. During the first half, WSG Tirol performed strongly and took the lead in the 27th minute with a goal from Hinterseer after a ball loss from Diarra 1-0. Another goal from Müller in the 34th minute was not recognized because of offside.

TSV Hartberg could not convince in the first half and had less possession and less determination in the attack. A few players were also missing for the WSG Tyrol due to injury, including Eckmayer, Sulzbacher, Lawrence and Ottenbowa. Wilfinger, Pfeifer and Fillafer were also not in the squad at Hartberg.

in the second half, Hartberg pressed the equalization and scored the goal for 1-2 in the 85th minute by Hoffmann. In added time, Müller then made the surprising balance to 2: 2 when his shot was deflected by Karamatic. Hartberg remains undefeated against WSG Tyrol this season
