Vesel Demaku had to help as a right back in Austria. Unlike Peter Stöger’s second change to the starting eleven, Maximilian Sax, he should take a chance. At the WSG, manager Thomas Silberberger let Nikolai Baden Frederiksen break in alongside veteran Zlatko Dadic, while Ranny Smith made his starting lineup debut in left midfield.
The opening phase was careful palpation and the consequence of WSG failing to score a goal early for the first time this season. No offensive series could be staged at all in the episode, with two (harmless) shots on target at halftime. “Stand firm with two back four stable for zero to be,” WSG coach Thomas Silberberger intended before the game. His plan resulted in Austria’s weaker half of this young season.

Austria’s first goal in the match
But even the first moments after switching sides were turbulent. First, Austria took the lead with a curious goal: WSG goalkeeper Ferdinand Oswald defended an overhead shot from Christoph Monschein, Fabian Koch shot Wimmer during clarifying action, causing the ball to enter the goal from the bottom edge of the crossbar. Austria’s fifth goal of the season was the first out of the game.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Patrick Pentz was there against Raffael Behounek (48th) and against Zlatko Dedic (50th). A violent shot from Koch hissed at the outside net (61st). And while Austria’s playful performance remained manageable, Pentz did his best: the goalkeeper repaired Erik Palmer-Brown’s fumble with a strong reflex against Kelvin Yeboah (68th).
Although the possible change of course in the game did not materialize, Austria made the decision on the counterattack. Sarkaria put after a double with Wimmer – but from a narrow offside position – to 2-0 (75th). The scorer benefited from his slip at the end, because that gave the ball a different trajectory and left Oswald with no defensive possibilities. The Tyrolese did not recover from this low blow.
Voices for the game:
Thomas silberberger (WSG coach): “It was like a game of chess: if you make the first wrong move, you lose. Unfortunately it was us. We didn’t have a brilliant first half, but we weren’t in danger of conceding a goal either. Then we got the bad luck goal right after the break and we have Yeboah’s seat at 1: 1. After that we played too cumbersome football and Austria checked us out. A bitter 2-0 loss, because there would have been so much more, but we are also to some extent to blame. “
Peter stoeger (Austria coach): “It was a well developed game in which we came off the field as a slightly better team with three points. We changed something in the organization that didn’t work for more than 90 minutes. But that’s also because the WSG has had a very good season so far. The boys were very hardworking. Not everything we want to see in football has worked. But it’s also important to take small steps. We have a team that, after the last few years, cannot be endowed with incredible self-confidence. We have to work for that. “
