David Gugganig (26th), Kelvin Yeboah (30th), Tobias Anselm (77th) and Renny Smith in injury time (90th + 4th) secured clear conditions in favor of the hosts at Innsbruck Tivoli. Meanwhile, Dejan Joveljic (66th) had scored the next goal for Wolfsberger. The WAC had to complete the finals with one man less to disperse after Luka Lochoshvili saw the red card in the 81st minute.
While WSG Tirol settled in sixth place with the fourth win of the season, tied with spusu SKN St. Pölten, the Wolfsbergers are now four points behind the top six. In the third Bundesliga game with the Tyrolese, the WAC lost the field for the second time in a draw.
Double hit zipline
Wolfsberg’s guests, who were unable to land in Innsbruck on the charter flight due to wind conditions and eventually made it through Munich by bus, didn’t really find their way into the game from the start. Goalkeeper Alexander Kofler had to stop for the first time in the 16th minute against Zlatko Dedic, shortly after Yeboah hit the side net (17th). The WAC, which had shifted six positions compared to the 1-0 win at CSKA Moscow, was hardly noticeable on offense, and the local leadership was almost logical.
After a free kick from the side, Gugganig soared over Dominik Baumgartner and headed. And just minutes later it got worse for the Carinthians, who continued to come forward carelessly: Michael Novak punched poorly off a Dedic cross, Yeboah headed from yards to make it 2-0. However, this was not a real wake-up call, the WAC exerted more pressure, but barely managed to carry out successful actions. Four completely unsuccessful shots on goal were the only thing that could be counted before the break.
WAC can only wait for a short time
WAC coach Ferdinand Feldhofer reacted with four changes at halftime, including manager Michael Liendl. Later, the guests determined what happened, but still found it difficult to create opportunities. A harmless Novak-Köpfler (63.) then began an emergency phase of the guests, shortly after Joveljic found the great opportunity in the five, but goalkeeper Ferdinand Oswald was there with a “handball parade”.
A little later, the Serbian was successful after all, his shot in the far corner entered the goal through the inside bar. The WAC kept the pressure high, only the pole saved the Tyrolese from equalizing with a header from Luka Lochoshvili (72nd). The Tyrolese looked for a way out of their passivity and gained something. Dedic first missed the goal with a strong cross from close range (75), but then it was time for Anselm: The “Joker” pushed the ball over the line after a corner kick off Nemanja Rnic on a five.
In the end, Dario Vizinger’s renewed goal was denied for offside, Lochoshvili even saw red after an emergency brake against Yeboah (81st). Smith was finally able to celebrate his first injury-time Bundesliga goal like Gugganig before and turned the Wolfsberger’s defeat, which had already been clear, into a rejection.
Voices for the game:
Thomas Silberberger (WSG coach): “The first half was the best we have played in months. We could have led even higher, we had everything under control. After the changes in WAC, you could already see why they are causing a sensation in the Europa League right now, they pushed us to that. As in Ried, we were afraid of winning again. With Tobi Anselm’s 3: 1 he went the other way again. In the end, of course, the red card played on our cards. At 4: 1, the WAC was still well served. “
Ferdinand Feldhofer (WAC trainer): “This defeat is extremely bitter. We were not prepared to face the fight in the first 30 minutes, we were not present in the duels and we made mistakes with the ball that were too simple. But that was also a result of the lack of freshness, that’s normal. We tried everything in the second half, four changes, three maximum chances, one goal. Hopefully, we will balance. We have to cross that out and we don’t have to analyze it for days. “
