STEYR. SK BMD Vorwärts Steyr lost one of their best in a 0-0 win against Austria Lustenau due to a serious injury.
After a few minutes into the game against Lustenau, forward endurance running back Michael Halbartschlager is sprawled out on the grass – he sprained his knee without any outside interference. The 25-year-old receives a brief treatment, bites his teeth and tries to continue playing for a few minutes, but then has to leave the field in minute 13. The first diagnosis of shock is a torn cruciate and collateral ligament, so that Halbartschlager threatens a layoff of at least six months.
Few opportunities to score
“It took a while for the team to recover from this shock,” says striker Andreas Milot, who is pleased with his team’s performance against Lustenau. In the end there is a 0-0 just in a game with few possibilities: for the first time the rojiblancos stay at home without conceding a goal in this second league season.
Young people can play
With captain Thomas Himmelfreundpointner, Bojan Mustecic, Josip Martinovic, Patrick Bilic and Jonas Broser missing five midfielders, the manager was forced to make a number of changes. Self-taught player Aleks Maric (21) made his debut in the starting eleven in the second division from the right in the last three and did an excellent job. Forward Daniel Bilic (19) was also able to play 25 minutes and even had a great chance for the winning goal. In the final minutes, defender Michael Martic (20) made his first second division appearance – there were three self-made players on the field at the same time.
Only two days off
The quiet Easter holidays are not included for forward kickers. Already on Monday at 12.30 pm in Wiener Neustadt against Rapid II. The second Hütteldorfer team was still at the bottom of the table in autumn, but now they are in twelfth position three points ahead of the rojiblancos. In 2021, Rapid legend Steffen Hofmann’s team has already scored 15 points, while Vorwärts only managed to win two points from seven games.
