The Linz Stadium at the Gugl was opened in 1952, and the last football match at the venerable Froschberg Oval ended yesterday at 7:52 pm LASK prepared a worthy farewell to its old field with a well-deserved 3-0 victory in the second round of the Cup against Elektra. A handful of LASK fans did this with fireworks outside the stadium.

This did not necessarily burn the team, a strong start was enough to put in their place the deeply defensive and valiantly fighting fourth division team, which had not played a competitive game since late October. Johannes Eggestein provided the first flawless hat trick (2nd, 15th, 34th) by an athlete since Radovan Vujanovic in a 3-0 regional league win against Allerheiligen on May 3, 2013. “We are one round down ahead, “said the tight. Comment from coach Dominik Thalhammer. James Holland had to leave with a point on his thigh shortly before the end.

Before the stadium finally falls victim to the wrecking ball, fans have to dismantle an old breakwater seat on Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays (12 noon to 6pm) for 19.08 euros and take it away.
