Drama in Innsbruck: WAC missed victory by late 911!

Drama in Innsbruck: WAC missed victory by late 911!

In a gripping duel of the Bundesliga, the WAC caused plenty of excitement in Innsbruck on Saturday. The game against the WSG Tyrol ended with a spectacular 3: 3 draw, which was decided by a late marketer in the 99th minute by Alessandro Schöpf. Thanks to this hit, the Carinthians, who are led by coach Dietmar Kühbauer, secure one point, even though they fell four times and thus missed the chance of an early qualification for the master group, such as OE24.at reported.

The WSG Tirol, trained by Philipp Semlic, had to fight back to tenth in the relegation battle after this draw. The Lavanttaler took the lead several times through Adis Jasic (9th, 65th), but the Tyroleans kept finding their way back into play. Jamie Lawrence and substitute Lukas Hinterseer turned the game several times before Schöpf secured the balance at the last moment. It was noteworthy that the WAC remained undefeated in the previous six competitive games in spring, even if the winning streak ended, like Kleinezeitung.at noted.

The match course was shaped by changing advantages: First, Jasic used a free kick for early lead, but the WSG equalized by Lawrence. In the second phase of the game, the Carinthian set accents again that Angelo Gattermayer could have expanded the lead twice, but failed due to the outstanding WSG goalkeeper Adam Stejskal. After the turn, it was Hinterseer, who initially equalized and then brought the WSG to the front with a goal in added time before the dramatic finale was decided by the penalty.

The WSG has to tackle its next two away games in Linz by winning this point profit, while the WAC is planning a trip to Hartberg. The coming week will be decisive for both teams to take the desired direction in the Bundesliga.
