Some stories are often only written for football.
Also those of Kelvin Yeboah in the match between WSG Tirol and SK Sturm (match report >>>). The Ghanaian moved from Wattens to Graz just over a month ago and was already focused on the run-up to the match at Tivoli in Innsbruck.
For this reason, Storm manager Christian Ilzer wanted to take some of the pressure off the 20-year-old forward and initially put him on the bench. From there, Yeboah scored a point for the “Blackies” with a joker goal in the last minute and then cheered exuberantly.
“It was very emotional for me and the team to score with the last chance after 90 minutes. I will apologize to the club and the team later,” said Yeboah, lamenting his jubilation at the WSG.
Yeboah a Wattener Success Story
With the WSG, Yeboah has experienced a lot in the two and a half years since his arrival in Austria in 2018. First, the fast forward rose to the Bundesliga with the Tyrolese, in Austria’s top division he quickly established himself as a regular player and scored. four goals in the 2019/20 season. However, Yeboah was unable to prevent the Wattener from being relegated, but SV Mattersburg did so after payment of the voluntary license.
In the fall of 2020, Yeboah finally blew up and recommended the next step. This finally took place in early February for the SK Sturm. The WSG did not have to turn over the attacker, but did so to generate urgently needed funds. On the other hand, the Wattener explicitly positioned itself this season as a training club that primarily focuses on young players and does not put any obstacles in their way when a bigger club hits.

Silberberger reported it
WSG coach Thomas Silberberger feared a goal from Yeboah even before the game. The Tyrolese would then “look like idiots.” After the final whistle, this assumption didn’t necessarily come true. Despite their crisis of form, the WSG showed a good performance against Graz and finally had to accept a draw in a game where Wattener really deserved a victory.
“That has happened 10,000 times before in football and there will be 10,000 times as well. The cheers don’t bother me either, I don’t care. I’m upset by how stupid we defend,” Silberberger Yeboah said.
Ilzer: “It was a fighting game”
Christian Ilzer emerged as the big winner of the points distribution, who finally showed a golden hand with the replacement of Yeboah. But the Styrian does not want to accept this compliment, he says: “In hindsight, you never know, maybe he would have scored three goals beforehand if I had prepared him.”
Overall, however, Ilzer is satisfied with the result at Tivoli. After a difficult English week with two league games against Croesus Salzburg, Graz’s performance left much to be desired.
“It was just a fighting game from the start. Until the 60th minute there were very few chances to score, then the WSG got over the water. Then we lost our energy. We couldn’t make any concrete progress. We did. Many times we were bogged down in the middle. of the field, we had a lot of bad passes on the inside. For a long time it was very thin of us in terms of the game, but we did not give up and we fought for this result and in the end we deserved it. “, said Ilzer, analyzing the match.
