Christian Ilzer’s competitive debut as Sturm Graz coach was a success. The Styrian Bundesliga team finished the SV Innsbruck fourth division on Friday in the first round of the ÖFB Cup at the Merkur Arena with 8-0. SV Ried had many more problems, only winning 5-3 on penalties at FC Gleisdorf. WAC fought SC Neusiedl am See 5-2 after extra time.
Sturm got off to a dream start in front of about 1,000 spectators, Bekim Balaj scored in the fourth minute. Following an own goal by Rene Waldhart (9th), Jon Gorenc Stankovic (14th) increased a summer header to 3-0.
All three shots were prepared by the recovered Jakob Jantscher. Balaj with his second goal (28th) and Kevin Friesenbichler (34th) followed before the break.
In the second half, Ilzer’s troop was a bit calmer, Stefan Hierländer (66th), Sebastian Zettl (82nd) and three-time striker Balaj (86th) still added to the shooting list. Also because the Tyrolese were outnumbered after a red card for Waldhart from the 74th minute.
“We achieved a clear victory with a sovereign game. It was a pleasant debut from the first minute,” Ilzer said in an interview with ORF.
