Wacker Innsbruck dominates Ebbs with a 3-0 win at the Tivoli

Last Saturday, October 12, 2024, the FC Wacker Innsbruck men's team played against SK Freisinger Ebbs. This encounter took place at the Tivoli Stadium and captivated 2,144 spectators. It was another exciting chapter in the Tyrol Regional League, and the Wackerians continue to show that they can do what they have tried and tested for their fans.

Particularly noteworthy was the strategy of coaches Sebastian Siller and Fabian Lantschner, who used the same starting line-up for the fourth time in a row. This continuity seems to be paying off, as the team appeared very determined. Right from the start, Wacker initiated promising attacks, but was initially held back by the guests' defense. Players like Bright Owusu went on the hunt early and had the first significant chance in the 7th minute, which was saved by the Ebbs goalkeeper with an impressive reflex.

A football festival at Tivoli

The game picked up speed and the fans were soon rewarded for coming. In the 15th minute, Owusu completed a brilliant attack to make it 1-0 after Ondrej Jakubov had a brilliant idea in midfield and served his teammate perfectly. The euphoria of the home fans was palpable, especially as the guests also had some promising opportunities. But the goalkeeper, Lukas Tauber, ensured that his box remained clean. The first half was characterized by many dangerous situations, with the Wacker Innsbruck team narrowly failing to make it 2-0 several times.

The second half opened up the opportunity for Stefan Lorenz, who increased the score to 2-0 with a powerful shot in the 55th minute. After this lead, Wacker continued to push for the next goal. Despite many missed chances and a shot off the post by Rami Tekir, the players remained patient and motivated. Ebbs, in contrast, found few opportunities in the second half and seemed overwhelmed by the comeback.

In stoppage time, Owusu once again provided the highlight of the game. He scored from an impossible angle in the 94th minute to make the final score 3-0, which caused the spectators to cheer.
