Altach with courage and luck: 3-1 win against Donau into the round of 16!

As part of the UNIQA ÖFB Cup, SCR Altach was able to achieve an important victory on August 27, 2025. In an exciting duel against SV Donau, the Vorarlbergers won 3-1 in Leobendorf and thus moved into the round of 16. This season of the ÖFB Cup, which has been held since 1919, has brought together 64 teams in the main round and is carried out in a knockout system, as Wikipedia reports.

The course of the game was characterized by strong actions from the start. Altach took the lead early on. A header from Diawara from a corner made it 1-0 in the first half. Although SV Donau was clearly inferior in the first half, they managed to go into the break only one goal behind. According to kicker, Donau's players fought bravely to turn the game around.

Turning point and decisive moments

After the half-time break, the game changed significantly. Tobias Peter scored the equalizer to make it 1-1 for SV Donau in the 54th minute, a moment that could potentially be seen as the turning point of the game. In the final phase, there were many signs of a possible sensation when Donau was able to build up more pressure.

History of the ÖFB Cup

The ÖFB Cup has lost popularity in recent decades and is playing an increasingly smaller role for many clubs, while the number of spectators lags behind those of the Bundesliga. With 27 titles, FK Austria Wien remains the record winner of the competition, which originally emerged from the Lower Austrian Cup. This important tradition of cup competition has been organized by the Austrian Football Association since 1919 and remains one of the central events in the Austrian football calendar, confirms Wikipedia.

With today's win, Altach not only cements its place in the competition, but also shows that anything is possible in the ÖFB Cup - a lesson that SV Donau also had to learn after they had a strong competitive fight.
