Altach fights for 1-1 against Sturm Graz - dramatic final minute!

In the last home game of 2024, the Cashpoint SCR Altach competed against the current double winner SK Sturm Graz. Despite the clear outsider role, Altach started courageously and held well against the self-confident guests from Graz, who arrived in Klagenfurt after an impressive 7-0 win. The Altacher coach, Fabio Ingolitsch, relied on new faces and brought Luca Kronberger and returnee Djawal Kaiba to the starting eleven. However, the first half was as the statistics suggested that the Steirer dominated the action and took the lead 1-0 with a goal in added time after a free kick from Ingolitsch had been extended to his own post. This hit was checked for a long time, but ultimately counted.
