Sturm Graz celebrates convincing 5-2 victory in the 200th derby against GAK

On Saturday evening, the 200th graz derby between the SK Sturm and the GAK took place in the Graz stadium. In a gripping game, the SK Sturm prevailed with a clear 5: 2 and thus confirmed his favorite role in the Bundesliga. This result is particularly noteworthy because it has been the first competitive game between the two teams for over 17 years.

The SK Sturm started the game strongly, and the goals fell at regular intervals. Gazibegovic put his team in the lead 34 minutes after kick -off, followed by Kiteishvili, who increased to 2-0 shortly before half -time. With another goal immediately after the change of sides by Biereth, the victory almost seemed in dry towels. But the GAK could not be shaken up so easily.

lively atmosphere and unfortunate actions

The derby not only offered a lot of action on the field, but also on the ranks. The fishing groups of both teams had prepared well for the high risk game, and the mood was largely peaceful despite the usual provocations. Optical choreographies and an impressive start of the game conjured up a smile on the face of the spectators. However, a smoke from the GAK sector led to a short-term interruption of the game, which did not disturb the course of the game.

Despite the strong start of Sturm, the GAK came back into the game, initially by Maderner, who scored after a corner kick, followed by Rosenberger, who shortened to 2: 3. But hopes for a turn soon became destroyed when Jatta and Kiteishvili quickly caused clear conditions. This return to the game showed the GAK fighting spirit, which still remains without victory this season and is in a challenging phase.

In the following, the GAK will have to compete against Rapid next Sunday, followed by another difficult game in Salzburg. Meanwhile, Sturm Graz can now prepare for the upcoming Champions League game against Sporting Lisbon, which is a great challenge for the team of Christian Ilzer.
