SCR Altach stays in the Bundesliga thanks to a 0-0 draw against LASK!

On May 23, 2025, SCR Altach secured its place in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga through a goalless draw against LASK. This point was crucial for Altach after their direct competitor SK Austria Klagenfurt lost and thus secured Altach's relegation.

The game took place in the Raiffeisen Arena Linz, where the Altach team played in a 3-4-3 system. There was little excitement in the game in the first half, with both teams barely able to create any chances to score. There was a controversial scene in the 11th minute: After Sulzner fouled Mustapha, the referee initially decided on a penalty. But after a VAR check, the offside position was detected and the penalty was not given.

Difficult encounter for Altach

In the second half, LASK took over the game and pushed the Altach team onto the defensive. Despite this dominance, LASK failed to score a goal. Previously, LASK did not score a single goal in the last three games, which underlined the team's partly disappointing second half of the season. However, SCR Altach showed a passionate defensive performance and thus secured the point that was necessary to stay in the league.

The suspended players Mike Bähre and Lukas Gugganig as well as the injured Fabio Ingolitsch were missing from the game for Altach. Meanwhile, Altach introduced five new players into the starting line-up, while LASK also made a lot of changes and brought in nine new players, including Naël Kane, who made his Bundesliga debut.

Statistics and outlook

With this draw, Altach will move into its 12th Bundesliga season in a row. The season for LASK, on ​​the other hand, was mixed, as the team started the final round undefeated, but remained winless in the last three games and did not score a goal. A total of 43 players were used at LASK this season.

Despite the challenges, SCR Altach can look forward to continued successful cooperation in the Bundesliga, while LASK could strive for a comprehensive analysis and necessary changes after this disappointing phase. The squad and game strategies of both clubs are likely to be crucial in the coming season in order to strengthen their respective sporting identities.
