Young Violets celebrate the 2nd league by winning the Kanter!

Voitsberg, Österreich - The Young Violets, the second team of Austria Vienna, did the promotion to Admiral 2nd league. After a convincing 6-1 win against the FCM Traiskirchen on the last matchday of the Regionalliga Ost, they returned to the professional juices after two years in amateur football. The goal scorers in this game were Mörth, who scored in the 6th and 64th minute, as well as Hosiner, who convinced with a hat trick in 41, 51st and 62nd minute. Bajraktarevic rounded off the result in the 76th minute.

The Young Violets have been on fourth place in the table behind SR Donaufeld, SC Neusiedl am See and FC Marchfeld Danubeauen. In order to secure second place and thus the promotion, they were dependent on shooting aid after the master Donaufeld had not requested any approval for the 2nd league. Fortunately, the direct competitors Marchfeld and Neusiedl lost in the penultimate round, which gave the Young Violeets the opportunity to score the decisive goal for promotion on the last match day.

The review of the Regionalliga Ost

The rise of the Young Violets has significantly influenced the relegation situation in the Regionalliga Ost. The ASK Voitsberg will descend as the bottom of the 2nd league to the regional league center. The club ended the second division season in 14th place after it had been above the line since the 13th round. With this descent, the number of relegated team from the Regionalliga Ost is reduced to three, as ASV Siegendorf and FC Mauerwerk have previously been determined. SV Gloggnitz secured the relegation by a late equalization in the fourth minute of stoppage time against Kremser SC and was able to complete with 27 points, while the Favoritner AC had to descend with 26 points.

In addition to the results of the last match day, which also affected the relegated teams, further games took place: SV Leobendorf Castle with 5: 0 against ASV Siegendorf and SV Oberwart with 3: 1 against SC Wiener Viktoria, while TWL Elektra beat FC Masonry 4: 1.

The perspectives of the regional league

The season is coming to an end and there are still five rounds in the Regionalliga Ost. The number of relegations could be influenced by the 2nd league. Two to four relegations from the Regionalliga Ost are currently planned. If the four -tenth Dornbirn, which is in the relegation zone of the 2nd league, does not go through a positive license procedure, this could have an impact on relegation from the Regionalliga Ost.

In this context, other clubs such as DSV Leoben and Austria Salzburg, who have not received a license in the second instance, could have an impact on relegations from the regional league. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and which teams can assert themselves in the race for maintenance by the end of the season.

For the Young Violets and their head coach Maximilian Uhlig, a new challenge in the 2nd league now begins, where they have to prove that they can exist in the second highest division.
