For a long time it seemed that Admira’s truism of five losses in a row, including the cup-out against Kapfenberg on penalties, could end on Saturday, but in the end the Südstadters are back with zero points.
With the middle score 2-0 after 20 minutes into the home game against Hartberg, only very few thought that Admira would give the game out of control, but a strong comeback from East Styrians turned the score around completely before the end of the 90 minutes (Match report >>>).
“We had everything completely under control in the first half. Actually, you have to go into the second half with so much chest that there should be nothing to shake the victory. Unfortunately after two standard goals we are back with zero points.” said a tough Admira goalkeeper Andreas Leitner after the match to “Sky”.
“In our situation, it is difficult for you to finish a game in a great way, even if you are in the lead. The bottom line is that it is just the simple goals that we concede. That is just bitter,” Leitner said.
“There will be better times again”
“We were very good in the game at the beginning and we rewarded ourselves with two goals. The penalty situation before the break was the crux of the matter for me. I don’t want to judge the penalty. But maybe you don’t have to get that close to the opponent,” he said Admire. Coach Damir Buric.
“The main problem is the set pieces, it runs like a red thread through the games. We are working on that, but it has not worked yet. Our naivety in some situations extends throughout the entire season. We commit too many simple mistakes. Of course it’s a big disappointment now, “says Buric.

Admira only has four points after nine rounds, which means last place in the table. In the southern part of the city, however, there are high hopes for a speedy recovery.
“The season will go on for a long time. Of course it’s not pleasant if you haven’t won anything lately, but we have to be very close, then better times will come,” said Andreas Leitner.
However, the next few weeks will not be any easier for Admira. The last three opponents before winter break are Salzburg, Sturm and Rapid. “We take it from a sporting point of view, it is always a new challenge. We can see how our players are doing against the best teams. It is important to see which players we can continue to plan with.”
Schopp: “Great relief”
For TSV Hartberg, they are celebrating their first win in nearly a month, even though they were almost hopelessly behind after a short period of play.
“It’s a nice feeling to score again, especially after the game. I feel very relieved. A big compliment to the team that, in addition to the two retirements, gave it their all during the full 90 minutes to get the three points.” do, “says Hartberg’s head coach Markus Schopp.
However, Schopp does not want to accept that Admira completely dominated the initial phase. “We were 2-0 down from nowhere, the rival went ahead twice to our goal and we scored two. I think we were good until then. The penalty before the break was very important, the team saw that we also met.”
“The team has invested a lot and we rewarded ourselves with three points. The standard situations made life easier for us. When you have a victory, it becomes much easier. I am confident for the next few weeks,” said Markus happily. Schopp.
