Austria Vienna wins dramatic duel and moves in third place

An exciting weekend in the Austrian Bundesliga: While the direct duel of the top teams ended on Saturday without a winner, the Viennese Austria experienced a triumph on Blau Weiß Linz on Sunday. Under the eyes of 14,600 spectators, Austria achieved an impressive comeback. After a disappointing first half, in which they resisted 0: 1, they scored two goals within just eight minutes and secured a 2-1 win.

The decision was made in a dramatic phase of the game. Coach Stephan Helm set up his team at half -time after Simon Seidl from Blau Weiß Linz scored the first goal. Austria was able to turn the game with fresh players like Matteo Perez-Vinlöf and Abukar Barry. Barry was instrumental in both goals. His missed shot became the perfect template for Maurice Malone, who achieved the equalization. At the second goal, Barry initiated the counterattack that Malone prepared perfectly for Nik Prelec. Malone was named "Man of the Match" by his strong performance.

A look at the competition

The league continued on Sunday when WSG Tirol shone with a 1-0 win against Altach. Quincy Butler scored the decisive goal for Tyrol - her first victory this season. Altach remains under pressure after they could not win a victory under their new coach Fabio Ingolitsch in three games.

Another exciting match took place between Austria Klagenfurt and Wolfsberg, where Klagenfurt finally won the Carinthian derby after the climb. Within only 13 minutes, referee Arnes Talic spoke two penalty against Wolfsberg, the second of which was clearly undisputed. Ben Bobzien both converted safely and secured his team the morning joy. Wolfsberg's return after half -time through Sandro Altunashvili was by no means enough to shorten the gap. Coach Didi Kühbauer was disappointed with the first half of his team and praised the performance of the Klagenfurter.

With the good performance in this weekend, Austria has worked into third place in the table, only two points behind the second Rapid Vienna. It is even more important that the club, now six points ahead of the seventh team Austria Klagenfurt, takes the chance to end the season strongly. Despite critical voices from the ranks of the supporters regarding the sports director Jürgen Werner, the mood among the players and the coaching staff remains positive.

Overall, the Bundesliga is faced with an exciting sequel, while the teams continue to fight for their placements. Further details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on peterlinden.live
