With Bekim Balaj and Kevin Friesenbichler, Christian Ilzer let two center forwards appear in his first competitive match. Together with the lively players on the outside lane, where Jakob Jantscher excelled with many goals, they were responsible for the good performance in the first round of the ÖFB Cup, as Christian Ilzer says.

Christian Ilzer is especially happy for Bekim Balaj, who wasn’t always happy with the storm suit last year. The Albanian was one of the protagonists of Friday night with a triple pack. “It is important for every striker to score goals, that gives the forwards confidence. The forwards measure themselves by goals. He can be quite satisfied with three goals.”
