In addition to the biggest European Cup victory in club history, the athletes finally managed to break the knot when it came to scoring goals. While in the Bundesliga against Vienna Austria and WSG Tirol there was still a problem in goal, Dominik Thalhammer’s protégés were unleashed.
To top it all, the dream of the second Europa League participation en suite is intact. “That’s something nice,” sums up Peter Michorl, who scored 4-0 while, his emotional state briefly in front of the ORF microphone.

Impressively, Stahlstädter played the fiddle in the fight for Europe from the first minute against Dunajska Streda. High pressure and quick combinations on the flanks made the Slovakian representative, who won all eight of his competitive matches this season, a key in the works.
“It was a lot of fun. We showed a good game and got the first chances right away. With the 3-0 win, the lid was on, allowing us to play freely,” said Michorl, highlighting the lightning start in the second section. decisive scene.
“We were better against Austria, just like Wattens. The effectiveness was just poor. That’s the way it is in football. Sometimes you just have to force goals.”

Coach Thalhammer was also visibly relieved by the promotion, which means that LASK now has a chance to win around three million euros in entry money by entering the group stage. “I experienced LASK very well in many phases,” said the 49-year-old, who “could calmly watch and enjoy” the game after the break.
Critical voices, who recently accused LASK of a lack of coolness, should have kept quiet. Before the game, Thalhammer had no worries about the goal dropping in such an important court game. “We did not have any discomfort because we are sure to continue our path and we are sure that it is a good path,” emphasized the former head of the women’s team.
When asked about Raguz’s performance, Thalhammer said: “I’m happy for him and I think he will score more goals in the league.” The Grieskirchen Under-21 player already has the chance to do so next Sunday in the home game against WAC (starting at 5pm on the LIVE ticker).
“Such success gives strength, especially for the game against Wolfsberg,” Thalhammer said.
