GAK celebrates an important away win against Altach in the basement duel!

In the exciting basement duel in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga, GAK 1902 achieved an important 2-1 win against SCR Altach on February 8, 2025. This success was of great importance for Graz in order to move away from the relegation places, while Altach continues to fight for the first three points of the season. After a balanced first half, in which the Altach team had more of the game and failed several times on the aluminum, the game broke up due to a mistake by the Altach goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic. This mistake led to 1-0 for GAK through Daniel Maderner, who only had to push in after a perfect preparatory work by Christian Lichtenberger ligaportal.at reported.

Although the Graz team didn't show a convincing performance in the first half, they improved in the second half. Jacob Italiano made it 2-0 with his first Bundesliga goal in the 75th minute. The Altachers responded with a goal from Marlon Mustapha, who scored in the 82nd minute, but the hosts had to play the game outnumbered in the final phase as Alexander Gorgon was sent off with a red card in the 80th minute after a foul.
