The WAC had to work overtime after a 2-2 draw after regular playing time as Niklas Sommerer scored 2-2 for the Burgenland outsider in the 90th minute. Marc Andre Schmerböck (22nd) and Cheikhou Dieng (57th) ) advanced the WAC 2-0, captain Patrick Kienzl (64th / penalty) and “Joker” Sommerer scored for the guests. In the extension, the regional league was at the end of the line. Dieng with his second goal (96th), captain Michael Liendl (100th) and Lukas Schöfl (102nd) ensured clear conditions.
WAC coach Ferdinand Feldhofer helped three newcomers make their competitive debuts with Jonathan Scherzer, Eliel Peretz and Matthäus Taferner. Former German legionary Taferner could also get credited assist immediately, served Schmerböck, who deliberately hit the far corner. The offensive player almost got a double, for one time or another even the dangerous Burgenland saved the pole in the 32nd minute.
Dieng completes the solo at 3: 2 (minute 96)
Cheikhou Dieng singlehandedly gave WAC the 3-2 goal and paved the way to victory.
At the start of the second half Liendl missed Neusiedl goalkeeper Martin Kraus with a weak penalty (52nd). Five minutes later, however, he was hit again: after Liendl flanked, Dieng hit with a volley. The loser did not give up and came back with a penalty for which Taferner was responsible and which was used by captain Kienzl. As the home team missed several top chances, it remained exciting until the end, and in the 90th minute, Sommerer headed 2-2 after Weber crossed. It was still the final highlight of the outsider.
Ried’s luck against Gleisdorf
While WAC left the field as the clear winner, Ried was able to avoid a false start to the new season. Innviertler knocked out regional division Gleisdorf only on penalties with 5: 3. At 90 and 120 minutes, 1-1 after an own goal by Manuel Suppan of Gleisdorf (45th) and a goal by Mark Grosse (54º).
Grosse nearly made it 2: 1 in injury time in regulation but failed on pole. This is also why the sensation did not materialize. In deciding the point, the favorite Gerald Baumgartner coached kept on edge. Canillas, Marco Grüll, Daniel Offenbacher, Marcel Ziegl and Murat Satin met. Goalkeeper Samuel Sahin-Radlinger saved Suppan’s penalty and thus also contributed to the climb.

In the second half, Ilzer’s troop was a bit calmer, Stefan Hierländer (66th), Sebastian Zettl (82nd) and three-goal scorer Balaj (86th) still added to the shooting list.
