On matchday 11, SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz faced FC Flyeralarm Admira in the typical Bundesliga. And in doing so, the Styrians managed to secure the fourth consecutive triple under one roof. Where is the journey going? Will Ilzer’s protégés get an active role in the title race? Again it was possible to keep zero. Concede 5 goals in 10 games shows how consistently you know how to defend. The Admirans sold dearly, but in the end Altach won at Ried, you have to travel home with the red lantern.

Sturm has problems with Admira
The “Blackies” have recently achieved three victories, which means that they are about to make contact with the leading trio. Of course, against the newcomer, one has on the agenda to achieve the next total success. Although the Südstädter comes with a very roomy chest. Because recently it was possible to put the league leader Red Bull Salzburg in his place. Without the suspended service provider Kerschbaum, the Südstadters almost fell behind in the second minute. Dante has an eye for Hierländer, who discreetly places the game controller right next to the goal. The Styrians are still the trigger or, without a doubt, the requirement to quickly reserve a track. Jantscher misses guest goalkeeper Leitner in the 6th minute. Minute 8: Kiteishvili heads into the penalty area for Nemeth, who only hits the post ten meters away. But then Buric’s troop manages to get the wind out of the Pastors’ sails. At minute 24, 0: 1 is up in the air. But Maxi Breunig missed his goal. Sturm now has a harder time creating chances to score, only “Oldboy” Jantscher is dangerous from time to time. In the 30th minute, the next big chance for Admira, but “Jimmy” Hoffer forgives very easily. 32nd minute: Hjulmand passes to Hausjell, but fails completely only to assault goalkeeper Siebenhandl. After a missed opportunity by Jantscher (41), there was a hit in the 43rd minute: Kiteishvili with the pass in the interface of forward Jon Stankovic. The Slovenian defender prevails against Malicsek and Rath, who are too hesitant to attack. Half time result: 1-0.

With the 2-0 the die was cast
In view of the very brave performance of the table laggard in the first half, it can certainly be assumed that the last word in this game has yet to be said. Because during long stretches of the match, Südstädter were in the first section, even the decisive team. At the beginning of the second round, the game is aimed as far as possible. The victory against the Salzburg team released some of the strengths that were previously unavailable. Above all, Lower Austria’s tactical appearance is one that many teams are likely to struggle with. Although Sturm Graz is now determining the game, with a second goal there is an opportunity to bring calm to the game. 58th minute: Kiteishvili returns to act as passer – Kevin Friesenbichler takes the measure and connects from 17 meters to 2-0. Which was a small preliminary decision. Because making up for a two-goal deficit is too good for the laggard. The effort cannot be denied to the guests. But the battery is not as full as it should be. So it was also an easier task for the hosts to at least keep the score or it was the turn of the third goal. In the 92nd minute, substitute Ganda has the 2-1 in the head. The goal then falls on the opposite side. Swiss Gregory Wüthrich secures the final score 3-0 with his first goal in the Bundesliga. With their fourth win in a row, the “Blackies” are now on the brink of becoming potential title contenders. In the last autumn round, Sturm Graz has home right against St. Pölten on Saturday, December 19 at 5:00 pm Admira Wacker is the host against Rapid Vienna at the same time.
