ÖFB-Cup: WAC wins penalty shootout thriller against Ried



[ad_1]

Stefan Nutz scored both goals for the guests (20th, 44th), Dominik Baumgartner (29th) and Michael Liendl each tied the Carinthians. On the penalty shoot-out, Rieder’s Marcel Canadi missed pole and Markus Lackner missed WAC goalkeeper Alexander Kofler, so Christopher Wernitznig’s mistake didn’t matter.

WAC’s victory was deserved, but it took a lot of force four days before the start of the Europa League at the Wörthersee stadium in Klagenfurt against ZSKA Moscow. The local team had clear advantages from the beginning and were already dangerous twice in the early stages.

Exciting exchange of blows

Matthäus Taferner’s volley missed the short corner (3rd), with a deflected shot from Christopher Wernitznig, Ried goalkeeper Samuel Sahin-Radlinger had to stretch (14th). Upper Austria took the lead with their first notable offensive action. A free kick from Marco Grüll landed on the wall, the ball that bounced used a direct kick into the far corner (20).

After the break, the Wolfsbergers couldn’t think of anything against the low guests, a shot from Cheikhou Dieng (63rd) and a header from Dejan Joveljic (74th) were no problems for Sahin-Radlinger.

Nutz is set to 2: 1 (minute 44)

Stefan Nutz scores for the second time in this game.

The resumption of the tie finally emerged at the end of the hard-fought second half from a controversial penalty – after Wernitznig fell after a duel with Grüll in the penalty area – Liendl converted the penalty safely (81st).

2: 2 with Liendl penalty (minute 81)

Michael Liendl converts a penalty in the 81st minute and draws 2: 2.

Even in extra time, WAC fought tenaciously, but in vain, for the winning goal. Marc Andre Schmerböck missed Radlinger (91st, 112th), Mario Leitgeb simply missed the goal (121st). He made it to the penalty shoot-out before promotion to the round of 16 was successful. The success was solved with another Liendl penalty.
