ÖFB Cup surprises: SV Stripfing defeats Rapid in the round of 16!

In the world of football, there have been some exciting developments in the ÖFB Cup, one of the most famous football tournaments in Austria. SV Stripfing, an ambitious club from the second division, caused a sensation by knocking their big rivals Rapid Wien out of the competition with a surprising 2-1 win. The surprises of the Cup competition are always known for exciting games and this time was no different.

While SV Stripfing went into the match with new vigor, Austria Wien only managed to reach the quarter-finals with a narrow 1-0 win against Horn. In other matches, GAK's negative spiral under new coach Poms proved that promotion to the second division does not necessarily cause a sensation when they lost 1-2 against SW Bregenz.

Penalty shootout at the Carinthian Derby

Another football highlight was the exciting Carinthian derby between Wolfsberg and Austria Klagenfurt. After a thrilling 1:1 and another 2:2 in regular time, the match went into extra time. In a nerve-wracking penalty shootout, in which each team missed a shot, Wolfsberg ultimately triumphed 9-8 and secured their ticket to the quarter-finals.

The other results also speak for themselves: RB Salzburg dominated with a 3-0 win against WSG Wattens, while Sturm Graz won the game against Blau-Weiß Linz 2-1. The DFB Cup round was also filled with notable games, including Bayern Munich's emphatic 4-0 win over Mainz 05, in which Jamal Musiala found the net three times.

Success stories in tennis

The English player Jack Draper also caused a stir in tennis at the ATP Masters in Paris-Bercy. In the second round he defeated No. 5 seed Taylor Fritz 7:6, 4:6, 6:4. Draper's mental strength was particularly evident in the second set, where he was unable to capitalize on several break points but ultimately came out on top.

His next opponent in the round of 16 is Australian player Alex de Minaur, who beat Serbian Kecmanovic 6-4, 7-6. In another exciting encounter, Russo-Australian player Alexei Popyrin survived the duel with No. 4 seed Daniil Medvedev. This game was characterized by emotional decisions and Popyrin won 6:4, 2:6, 7:6.
