TSV Hartberg moves into the quarter -finals with a clear 3-0 over Austria Lustenau

In the first game of the ÖFB Cup round of 16, TSV Hartberg won 3-0 against Austria Lustenau. With this convincing victory, Hartberg was the first to qualify for the quarter -finals of only eleven remaining first division teams. Donis Avdijaj, who proved to be an outstanding player of the evening, scored two goals and thus largely steered the triumph of the Styrians.

The game took place in Bregenz on Tuesday and the hosts, who were unbeaten in the second division last season, had done a good job defensively, but after half -time the game was clearly shifted to Hartberger. While the first half went without any noteworthy opportunities, the double strike from Avdijaj (48th minute) and Prokop (55th minute) quickly provided clear conditions.

Overview of the course of the game

At the break it was still 0-0, but in the second half it was the Hartberger who took the booklet in hand. First, after a pass from Mijic, Avdijaj netted that had already hit five times in the current cup season. Six minutes later it was Prokop who scored the second goal and made the Lustenau defensive false. Despite another attack by the Lustenauer, which only allowed a real option for a hit, the Hartberger won the game. Avdijaj scored the third goal again after a nice combination in the 86th minute.

For the Hartberger, this victory was not only an important step in the ÖFB Cup, but also a positive signal after shorter thirsty traces in the league. Through this performance against Lustenau, the team was able to recharge your batteries and prepare for upcoming Bundesliga games.

The next game for the other top teams takes place on Wednesday, where defending champion Sturm Graz, RB Salzburg, WAC and other Bundesliga clubs compete against second division teams. Among other things, games against Stripfing, Horn and Voitsberg are on the program. It remains exciting to see which teams will also qualify for the quarter -finals.
