2nd league: Amstetten inflicts first loss on Liefering



[ad_1]

FC Liefering’s undefeated streak in the 2nd soccer league ended on Friday evening. SKU Amstetten inflicted the first defeat of the season on the “young bulls” at the start of the ninth round in Grödig with a surprising 3-0.

Therefore, the leadership in the classification cannot be challenged with Lieferingern, they are ahead of the ranking with 20 points. For Lower Austria it was the first victory with which they left the relegation zone behind for the moment.

Alin Roman started Amstetten’s away win in the eighth minute. Christian Lichtenberger (32nd) rose with a halt in the corner before the break. David Peham made the final decision with a conclusion in the 71st minute.

The 28-year-old forward hit the ninth game for the ninth time. With that he moved a little closer on the Blau-Weiß-Linz-Goalgetter league shooting list Fabian Schubert (11).

Liberation strike

For Amstetten, after five draws and three losses, it was a big break that included a jump to twelfth place. Liefering lost for the first time after six hits and two draws and was left without a goal for the first time due to lack of efficiency and lack of luck.

All of this happened without coach Bo Svensson, who was unable to be there due to a positive corona test that came out Thursday. This gave Austria Klagenfurt the opportunity in the game of the night at GAK to move up to first place with a victory of up to two points.

The FAC improved to fifth place thanks to a 2-1 home win against Juniors Upper Austria. In the fight to stay in the league, SV Horn scored “Big Points” with a close 3-2 at the Waldviertel against the Rapid Amateurs, who were just 15th.

Just one point for Klagenfurt

Austria Klagenfurt had to be content with a 1-1 draw in the GAK due to a late goal conceded, but nevertheless became the first to follow Liefering. The Carinthians were lucky with the opening goal at the Merkur Arena. GAK right-back Josef Weberbauer faked an Oliver Markoutz cross that was pretending to be a cross into his own goal (13th).

The guests could have closed the sack, but could not refill. That is why it remained exciting and was in the air shortly before the break with a pate header from Perchtold (45 + 3) and in the second half of the equation. Martin Harrer put a volley from the best position near the goal (73). Slobodan Mihajlovic did his job better, securing a points win for his fifth-ranked team in the 90th minute with a sovereign finish.

As in the 1-1 draw at Kapfenberg, Klagenfurt lost points due to a late goal conceded. Only one of the last four games could be won. Lafnitz (Saturday at Dornbirn) and Blau-Weiß Linz (Sunday at Steyr), tied on points with Klagenfurt, have a chance to advance to second place at the weekend.
