WAC celebrates 2-1 victory in Linz-three points for the Lavanttaler!

In today's encounter in the master group of the Austrian Bundesliga, the WAC won important points with a 2-1 away win against Blau-Weiß Linz. Thierno Ballo opened the scoring for the guests in the 12th minute. Despite a good combative reaction of the Linz, which made it through Conor Noß in the 48th minute, Dejan Zukic secured the victory for WAC in the 76th minute, whose coach Markus Pink could not fall back on three regular players due to injuries.

Gerald Scheiblehner, the coach of Blau-Weiß Linz, had to get by without Anderson, causing Elias Bakatukanda to go into the starting eleven. Maximilian Ullmann narrowly missed the goal in the 5th minute before Ballo was allowed to cheer after a precise flank from Zukic in the 12th minute. The WAC in particular dominated the first half and largely controlled the game, while Linz had little to offer, as well as Zeitung reported.

exciting course of the game in the second half

After half -time, Linz showed a significant improvement. The equalization by Noß came after an assist from Oliver Buchling in the 48th minute. But the joy of the Linz was only briefly. WAC restored the old distance when Zukic scored the 2-1 in the 76th minute after Vitek only defended a shot from Alessandro Schöpf. In the 81st minute, Chibuike Nwaiwu had to attack Alexander Schmidt with a red card from the square.

Although Linz continued to set up pressure, WAC managed to defend the narrow lead to the final whistle. In injury time, Nikolas Uphrez was able to ward off another attempt by Seidl and thus secured the first victory in the master group for the Lavanttaler after two draws. While WAC will now compete against Rapid Vienna, the next challenge for the master Sturm Graz is pending for Linz.

team performance and statistics

With this victory, WAC celebrated an important success that was supposed to give the team buoyancy, while Linz had to take the third defeat in a row. The WAC had previously completed with draws in the league against Sturm Graz and the Wiener Austria, but now shows that they can find them back into the road to success. Radek Vitek in the goal, who defused several shots, and Dejan Zukic, who was decisive in the game, were among the top performers of the game.

The current team statistics of the WAC show that the club still has a lot of potential in the current season and is ready to fight at the top of the table. Future games could be crucial for their placement in the master group, especially with regard to the upcoming encounters with well -known opponents. The team will continue to be required in the coming weeks, especially with regard to the upcoming games in the league and the preparations for international qualifications.

In the table of fcstats rankings, Austria is currently in an unsatisfactory place without providing victories in the pre -qualifications for the World Championship.
