Hartberg cheered 2-0 against Wolfsberg - a step to the master group!

Hartberg, Österreich - The TSV Hartberg started with mixed feelings into the second half of the Admiral Bundesliga. After a lean 0-0 draw against WSG Tyrol, which took place in a man -held Tivoli, the team of coach Manfred Schmid still shows great uncertainties. Schmid had to admit that the performance of his players in the first 20 minutes was far below expectations: "We didn't bring the basics at all. We weren't in the place. Gottseidank was Raphael Sallinger there early on," said the coach. Without the brilliant performances of his goalkeeper, no point would have remained in the game, which further fueled the displeasure. The fans are dissatisfied, because "we didn't really deserve that we will be the winner today," said the goalkeeper. Hartberg now has 21 points and despite the deficit to the master group, there is hope for improvement.

a ray of hope at TSV Hartberg

A ray of hope for the Oststeirer came only a short time later: Hartberg booked a 2-0 home win against the Wolfsberger AC on Sunday and now hibernated in fourth place in the table. Gates of Mamadou Sangare in the 27th minute and Ruben Providence in the 53rd minute secured the important victory and strengthened the distance to the pursuers. As krone.at reported, the WAC did not succeed in coming back after the second goal. Hartberg was vigorous and powerful from the start. "Self -confidence was there," it said. Also on the defensive, they held their leadership and thus give hope for a successful continuation of the season.

The next games will be crucial for Hartberg to continue smoothing the worries after the slow start of the season and showing where the trip leads. "Now we have to deliver, perform well," said Schmid, while the players are preparing for the next home game against Austria Klagenfurt. Exciting weeks are facing the Eastern Styrians to prove that they are on the right track.
