A dramatic duel in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga ended with a 2-1 away win for FC Blau-Weiß Linz against Wolfsberger AC (WAC).

In the 36th minute, Anderson scored the lead for Linz with a header from a clever corner. Despite intensive efforts from the WAC players, who improved especially in the second half, the hosts only managed to equalize through Ballo in the 71st minute.

The Linzers were able to secure valuable points in the fight for the championship group, while the WAC had to accept a bitter setback in the title race as they are already seven points behind the league leaders Sturm League portal reported.

A grueling finale the last word
