WAC celebrates 3-0 against Sturm: The way to the championship title?

The WAC celebrated its 5th victory in a row with an impressive 3-0 home win against the SK Sturm Graz. In the Lavanttal Arena, in front of 5,353 enthusiastic spectators, the team of coach Dietmar Kühbauer showed a strong performance from the start. The Serbian striker Zukic scored two goals in the first half (17th and 23rd minute) and clearly led his team. His first double pack in the Bundesliga provided happy faces at the Wolfsbergers, who literally dominated the reigning Doubles winner. "We gave full throttle from the first minute and absolutely wanted to get the victory," emphasized Zukic after the game and left no doubt that the team performance was decisive.

The defensive stability of the WAC defensive under coach Kühbauer also came into its own. "The first half was fantastic. We deservedly led and could have done even higher," said Kühbauer. In the second half, the game remained a little more balanced, but Sturm Graz could not reduce the gap. Alessandro Schöpf, who switched to the WAC in winter, set the final point with his goal in the 83rd minute and thus celebrated a perfect start at his new club. "If I could have painted it, I would have painted it just like that," said Schöpf.

A look into the future

The WAC remains confident, but players also know about the challenges that are in front of them. While Zukic emphasized the team's outsider role, Adis Jasic appealed to prudence and warned not to expect too much. The next few weeks will be decisive, since the team must now contest an away double against WSG Tirol and TSV Hartberg before they will compete against Blau Weiß Linz on March 9th. However, the clear victory against Sturm Graz creates a spirit of optimism in Wolfsberg, the fans can hope for an exciting season, especially since the players finally exploit their potential.

The goals at a glance: 1: 0 Zukic (17th), 2: 0 Zukic (23rd), 3: 0 Schöpf (83.). The WAC's performance shows that they are ready to achieve even more this season.
