Wolfsberger AC was eliminated on Wednesday night in the Europa League round of 32 against Tottenham Hotspur. After the 4-1 defeat in the first leg last Thursday in Budapest, WAC also clearly lost the second leg in London with 0: 4 (0: 1). The goals were scored by Dele Alli (10th), Carlos Vinicius (50th, 83rd) and Gareth Bale (73rd). Tottenham went up to the round of 16 with a total score of 8: 1, which will be drawn on Friday and will be played on March 11 and 18 respectively.
In the match that coach Ferdinand Feldhofer called the “bonus game”, WAC had the first (sixth) chance for Christopher Wernitznig, who shot over the goal from 20 meters on his 31st birthday, but the first hit came four minutes then. Side: After a pass from Matt Doherty, England player Alli completed spectacularly with a perfect shot from 13 meters to the corner.
After that, there were no better opportunities for a long time. Before the change, Tottenham goalkeeper Joe Hart only had to intervene when Michael Liendl took a too light penalty (34th). Shortly before the break, Brazilian center forward Vinicius made it 2-0 on his foot after leaving goalkeeper Manuel Kuttin out. But WAC defense chief Gustav Henriksson caught the ball in his rescue operation with his foot before the line. In the same minute, Kuttin had to defuse a shot from Steven Bergwijn (both 44th).
Not even five minutes after the change it was 2-0: after WAC forward Cheikhou Dieng unsuccessfully claimed a penalty after contact with Eric Dier, Vinicius used a cross from Alli with a header into the near corner on a counterattack. Goalkeeper Kuttin shone a bit later with a defense from a shot by Erik Lamela (54th). On the other side, Liendl brought out Dejan Joveljic, who had been substituted at half-time, with a cross, but the forward’s header landed just outside the goal. A little later he failed because of Hart (63rd).
Then only Tottenham played, although Kuttin stood out several times, for example with a shot from close range by Alli (67th), but was powerless two more times. For example, Bale’s shot, who had just been substituted four minutes earlier, hit the far corner with his strong left foot after Alli’s pass. The end result was then the result of Henriksson’s error on his own sixteen, after which Vinicius tied his key.
The class difference was clearly visible at the end. Tottenham has no less than 17 players on its team whose market value exceeds that of the entire WAC team. (What)
