“I saw Austria who enjoyed playing”

League leaders Red Bull Salzburg have suffered their second defeat of the season in the Bundesliga. The defending champion had to admit the defeat of the previous last Admira with 0: 1 on Saturday and could lose the first position on Sunday. LASK can overcome Salzburgers with a success in the Upper Austrian derby against Ried (5pm).

Sturm beat Austria, which was suffering a sporting and economic crisis, 4: 0 and joined the top three. The Viennese, on the other hand, are still stuck in eighth place. St. Pölten consolidated fifth place with a 4-0 win at Altach and shot the Vorarlbergers into last place.

On Sunday, in addition to the Upper Austrian Derby, the TSV Hartberg – Rapid Vienna and WSG Tirol – WAC games are scheduled (both at 2.30 pm).

FK Austria – Sturm Graz 0-4

Peter Stöger (coach of Austria): “It’s bitter when you lose this game so clearly. The 70 minutes until elimination went completely well. I saw a team that was happy to play and they defended themselves. We took the pressure off after the break, everything was fine so far. But you’ve seen that After the exclusion and situations that you cannot plan, we are not so stable. After the 2-0 loss, the lid was on, then the courage was lost. “

To the red card: “Fitz doesn’t necessarily have to slip, but he was far from hurting him.”

Christian Ilzer (Sturm’s coach): “It’s a very, very nice night for us. The game developed over time, it was very even for a good hour. We only got half the chances. Austria was dangerous too. The game was razor’s edge. We did it. We made it 1-0 in a difficult phase. The red card was decisive. Then we reacted superbly. We punished a restless Austria with two goals. We didn’t allow much. That’s the key. “

FC Admira – Red Bull Salzburg 1: 0

Damir Buric (Admire-Coach): “That’s the good thing about football, write stories like that. We tactically implemented all the measures today. We were very focused and attentive, we made few mistakes compared to previous games. And if one passed, someone else fixed it. I’m happy.”

Roman Kerschbaum (Admira scorer): “We rewarded ourselves as a team today and played almost flawlessly for 95 minutes. We defended well, but we also always had good attacking actions.”

Jesse Marsch (Salzburg coach): “Congratulations to Admira, who fought very well. It was very little for us today. The disappointment is great. The match, of course, is not a good preparation for Wednesday. Obviously we got it from Sturm’s match (1: 3, note .) I didn’t learn the right thing. I’m considering rotating less until winter break. “

Albert Vallci (Salzburg defender): “Our performance was not good enough, we want to win every game. We did not take the fight as it should have been.”

SCR Altach – SKN St. Pölten 0: 4

Alex Pastoor (Altach-Trainer): “We started in an organized way, we played very little football, but we were good defensively. After Anderson’s injury, nothing changed except the names. We didn’t take the second ball in the first goal, midfield played badly. And after the red card nobody dared to move anything. Everyone just looks at each other. Before the break I saw a team that tried everything, but we had so many personal mistakes in the second half.: 2 For example, they just have to shoot the ball, but that’s just It doesn’t happen. If we had gone all-out after the red card, something would have been possible. We just didn’t play as a team. “

Robert Ibertsberger (SKN coach): “We are definitely satisfied to have scored a triple, and the four goals are also good for our goal difference, which we had to correct a bit. In the first half we did not have that access to the game, not even in We improved that after the break, and our style of play was much better. So I think victory at this level is fine. “
