Rising in danger: Admira misses the victory and Ried attracts!

In the Admiral 2nd League, the promotion race is becoming increasingly exciting. Admira, who had been leading the table since the ninth day, had to accept a bitter 0-2 defeat in the direct duel against the pursuer Ried on the 27th matchday. Admira was unable to win the last four games, the last three of which were lost. This means that only three games are available to the team to keep their chances of promotion. Head coach Thomas Silberberger said: "The setback comes at the wrong time".

In a series of unfortunate results, the negative run began with a disappointing 2: 2 against Stripfing, followed by defeats against Amstetten, Sturm II and the youngest duel with Ried. Silberberger made it clear that the climb not depends not only on the defeat against Ried, but also on previous losses. He also praised Ried for their strong defense.

The controversial decisions

The game against Ried was not free of controversial decisions. In a crucial scene there was a collision between goalkeeper Andreas Leitner and Admiras Reinhard Young. The referee Sebastian Gishamer did not decide on a penalty, which Silberberger could have regarded as a wrong decision. He skeptically commented on this referee decision, but was overall satisfied with the performance of the referee.

The Admira was harmless in the attack, especially since routine Alar was missing due to muscular problems. To ensure the climb, Silberberger emphasized that the last three remaining games have to be won. He concluded with the encouraging statement that every negative series ends at some point.

competition excitement pure

The promotion duel remains exciting. While Admira won only one point in the game against Stripfing, Ried was able to draw attention to himself with a 2-1 win against St. Pölten. Michael Sollbauer took the lead in the 38th minute, but Claudy M’Buyi equalized in the 71st minute before Nikki Haveaar scored the winning goal for Ried in the 79th minute. As a result, Ried moves up to two points to the Admira.

Current results of the 24th round of the 2nd league set the framework for emotional decisions in the remaining season:

Admira Wacker - Stripfing 2: 2
st. Pölten - Ried 1: 2
Kapfenberg - Amstetten 3: 2
Austria Lustenau - Liefering 1: 2
fac - rapid II 2: 0
horn-black and white Bregenz 3: 2
