Bundesliga: Blau-Weiß Linz wins and leaves the bottom of the table

He experiences how fast things can happen in football WAC these days. After the 3-0 defeat on Tuesday Blue and White Linz The Lavanttalers are in last place in the table Qualification group. The descent in the 2. Liga threatens and there is a reason for that: the WAC has now been without a win for twelve Bundesliga games. The last success dates back to December 7th of the previous year.

Blue-White, however, finished another Negative run. In the 29th minute the time had come on Tuesday and the Upper Austrians were no longer bottom of the table for the first time since the 13th round. After a cross from Ronivaldo pushed into the penalty area Shon Weissman WAC captain Gernot Baumgartner away. The central defender fell carelessly to the ground. Was he hoping for a foul whistle? In any case, there wasn’t. Weissman converted the turn to make it 1-0 for the hosts in the style of a real goal getter. It was Iraeli’s ninth goal of the season.

No penalty

Things got even worse for the Carinthians as the game progressed. At first there was an unintentional Handball probably right no penalty for the WAC, who had to be more offensive after the break. There was room for the Linzers on the counterattack. One of these resulted in a free kick for Blue and White on the edge of the penalty area. Nico Maier hit the far corner after WAC goalie Polster made a mistake, took a decisive step into the other corner and was beaten (66th).

The WAC responded with the logical final offensive. She brought in nothing. On the contrary: Nico Maier scored again. Thanks to the 3-0 win, the Linzers now have a point lead over the new bottom team and also the famous “asterisk”, which puts them ahead of the Carinthians if there is a tie on points.

“Not much happened”

Blue and white coach Michael Köllner was relieved: “We were under brutal pressure. Not much happened, there are still twelve points to get. We just improved the look in the table,” said the Bavarian.

The Carinthians still have four laps to swim to the safe shore. trainer Thomas Silberberger speaks plainly: “If I’m honest, there’s not much going for us. The team is on the ropes. It’s a very dangerous situation, I’m aware of that. We have to make sure we get out of it.”

Nothing more to do with the relegation Altach. The cup finalist came in the home game against WSG Tirol As in the first duel between the two teams last Saturday, there was a draw. This time the guests from Tyrol had slight advantages in the 0-0 draw in the Ländle.

The new leader of the qualification group is the SV Ried after a 2-1 home win against NO.
