For coach Peter Stöger’s newly weak offensive team, the draw was also in the flattering category. Goalkeeper Patrick Pentz prevented the disappointing favorites from being beaten for the third time in a row with a few parades in the empty Cashpoint Arena.
While Stöger made only one change compared to his appearance in Styria, Altach’s coach Alex Pastoor very confused his starting eleven after the disappointing guest appearance at Rapid (1: 3). There were six changes, only two were absolutely necessary due to the injuries of Emir Karic and Alain Wiss. Philipp Netzer and Chinedu Obasi had to cook on the bench.
Advantages for Altach, but without goals
The first part was marked by the fighting, both defense lines were very secure. Neither team found an effective way to dangerously enter the penalty area. So shots from outside the sixteen remained the only performance, and only from Altach’s side. Pentz was able to save shots from Emanuel Schreiner (18th) and Johannes Tartarotti (41st). The Viennese did not radiate goal danger.
That didn’t change even after the reboot. Austrian striker Christoph Monschein had to leave with a foot injury. Both teams tried to play forward with more emphasis. Altach was unable to capitalize on the overweight opportunities. Pentz parried a Maderner setter and the 23-year-old held the point in the 67th minute with a shot from Manfred Fischer.
The Viennese almost got three points out of nowhere. When Patrick Wimmer (87th) completed the rotation and Bright Edomwonyi (91st), there was not much to go and more could have been done. Altacher’s two winless games came to his seventh attempt this season for the first time without conceding a goal. Before that, he had to concede 16 times. Despite the increase in points, Vorarlberg’s team slipped to penultimate place with five points. Austria is three points ahead of sixth place.
Voices for the game:
Alex Pastor (Altach-Trainer): “Compared to the last game, it was much more compact. We tried to gain more stability and we succeeded. After the break, the team dared to do more. From my point of view, it is a great step forward, although it does not express the result. We can live with 0-0. “
Peter stoeger (Austria coach): “The result is good. It’s clear the first half was lean food football, but don’t forget that both teams didn’t really perform in the final round and the focus was on defense. There were no clear chances to score, Altach had the best at the beginning, we left ours at the end. The opinion that Austria Wien is a great team does not currently apply. You have to accept that the team is changing. From that point of view, I am satisfied with the result. “
