It’s kind of a shame that Giovanni Trapattoni not sitting in the coaching bench at Altach. Otherwise, one might have witnessed a new performance of his iconic angry speech in the Tivoli Stadium on Sunday: The legendary What Allow Strunz would have been the appropriate reaction to the huge opportunity Oliver Strunz After half an hour the score was 0-0 from a few meters.
Such negligence ran like a common thread through Altach’s game. The WSG’s 1-0 victory also resulted from a devastating defensive mistake, especially Paul Koller. The Altach defender miscalculated a high release from the WSG and let himself go Quincy Butler dupe. During the rescue attempt, the unfortunate Koller ended up on the seat of his pants – 1-0 (40th).
The Tyroleans should have made it 2-0 before the break, but Müller and Sulzbacher got in each other’s way when they shot from a promising position, which is why the ball missed the goal.
In the home game away from home – 500 supporters accompanied the team to Innsbruck – Altach remained harmless for long stretches and lacked offensive creativity. In addition to the lack of danger, there was also incompetence: Substitute goal getter Gustavo Santos couldn’t get the ball over the line from two meters away – Lawrence saved in dire need.
For WSG Tirol, the 1-0 win against their neighbors in the table is like a liberation. This also ends a long dry spell at the Tivoli Stadium. For the first time in 194 days, the Tyroleans were able to win a home game again. For neo-coach Philipp Semlic it was the first success at the Tivol
Labor victory
There was cheering in Klagenfurt Peter Pacult omitted, an unusual picture. The coach of Austria Klagenfurt was happy about a 2-1 win against Wolfsberger AC and coach Didi Kühbauer. Bobzien held his nerve twice from the penalty spot and gave Austria a 2-0 lead. The WAC came close again with a dream goal from Altunashvili. A volley from him from more than 20 meters hit with pinpoint accuracy, the goal of the year. The Wolfsbergers still had a very good chance of equalizing at the end, but narrowly failed.
