Jancer enthusiastic about Remis: One point is worth gold!

In an exciting Friday evening game in the 29th round of the Admiral Bundesliga, the GAK separated from SK Austria Klagenfurt in 1902 1-1. Both teams fight against relegation in the qualification group, which makes the draw a decisive point in the course of the season. Almost 6,300 spectators followed the encounter in the Merkur-Arena in Graz.

The GAK took the lead in the 33rd minute by Daniel Maderner, but Klagenfurt was able to compensate for Nicolas Binder just four minutes later. It was the player's comeback who was back in the starting eleven for the first time in a long time and was praised for his performance by coach Carsten Carsten Jancker. Jancer, who made his debut as head coach in Klagenfurt, emphasized that his team found better into play after the goal.

cards and controversy

The second half was shaped by a controversy: Klagenfurt's Matteo Kitz received the red card in the 49th minute after a collision. This decision caused heated discussions, but Jancer expressed that his team cope with the exclusion well and played strongly defensively. Despite the outnumbered, Klagenfurt was able to secure the point win.

The GAK, which dominated especially in the first half, was inefficient in the exploitation of opportunities. After half-time, the home team increased the pressure, but failed several times due to the weakness and final weakness. So Tikvic only hit the crossbar in the 58th minute, and Maderner gave a good opportunity to decide the game for the GAK in added time.

importance of the point

Christian Lichtenberger, midfielder of the GAK, was disappointed after the game and described the draw as a felt defeat. Jancer, on the other hand, saw the point as important for the team, just in view of the upcoming "three end games" that could be decisive for the whereabouts in the league.

This encounter is part of a current phase in the first Bundesliga, in which coaching changes often occur. A look at the statistics shows that in the 2024/2025 season, numerous coaching positions have been filled, which ensures a lot of movement in the teams. Jancer himself described his new role as "dream and privilege", which underlines the challenges in this competitive landscape.

Overall, the game reflected the highly emotional situation in which both teams are located. While Klagenfurt sees its point win as a success, the GAK urgently has to work on the exploitation of opportunities in order to emerge more securely from such encounters in the future
