Dramatic football drama: WAC saves point at the last minute!

The football match between WSG Tirol and the WAC on February 23, 2025 was a real thriller that left mixed feelings for both teams. The WAC, who arrived full of self -confidence after six competitive victories in a row, first faced a gap of 1: 2 before Lukas Hinterseer took the lead to 3: 2 with two goals. But the dramatic end came through a penalty that Alessandro Schöpf converted in the 99th minute and thus set the final result to 3: 3. This late rescue ensured relief in the Carinthian warehouse, but coach Didi Kühbauer was not satisfied with the performance of how he made it after the game: "We could have made it easier for us," said Kühbauer, while the team had to be happy to be at least undefeated, as was reported to ORF Tirol.

The game in the Tivoli Stadium was characterized by numerous twists and a gripping game. WAC striker Adis Jasic brought his team into the lead after nine minutes, but the Tyroleans won Jamie Lawrence with a header. The Hinterseer veteran brought the WSG into the lead with two goals up to the 91st minute before Schöpf spoke the last word and saved the game into the draw. Despite the late part of the points, coach Philipp Semlic showed himself fair and said: "The draw is okay in the end", while he praised the strong performance of Hinterseer, who impressively demonstrated his qualities in the box.

a drama with lots of emotions

The encounter left everyone involved in thought: was it a point or a loss of two valuable points? "You saw everything in the game," said Kühbauer and referred to the negligence of his team after the tour. For the WSG, the draw meant another challenge in the relegation battle, while the WAC continues to move to the master group. With this dramatic course, the next game is longed for both teams, as both the descent and the promotion plans are on the brink. As the Kleine Zeitung reported, a victory could secure the return of the WAC to the master group after two years of abstinence, provided the competition does not play in the cards of the Wac.
