TSV Hartberg turns the game around against FC Admira

TSV Hartberg retracted three points in Admira after a 2-0 deficit in less than 20 minutes. Oststeirer won with a 3: 2 (1: 2) in Südstadt on Saturday the second victory of the season. Substitute Seifedin Chabbi scored in the 87th minute with his first Bundesliga goal. After their fifth loss in a row, Admira remains at the bottom, Hartberg is seventh for the moment.

Emanuel Aiwu (10th) and Erwin Hoffer (19th) quickly gave Admira a 2-0 lead. Dario Tadic (42.) scored his fifth goal of the season with a free-kick before the half-time whistle. After switching ends, Thomas Rotter (60th) equalized after a corner kick. Another corner gave Hartberg the win on the road thanks to Chabbi, who had just replaced Tadic.

For Admira, who started the game with a series of defeats and consequently little self-confidence, the first 20 minutes went as he wished. Hartberg had more game and especially the ball, but the goals were scored by the local team, with the help of the opponent and also with a bit of luck.

First, Rajko Rep irritated his goalkeeper Rene Swete with a corner kick, Aiwu dusted him off, suspected of being offside. So Hartberg’s offside trap was not broken when a pass to Maximilian Breunig, Swete saved twice against the German, but the ball fell at the feet of Hoffer who was ready to shoot. The efficiency that was lacking in the 3-0 draw at WSG Tirol appeared suddenly.

The Hartbergers, who were defeated by Austria 3: 5 in the round of 16 of the ÖFB Cup during the week, did not give up. Tadic often remained the sole cheerleader in attack, Styria’s top striker occupying Admira’s defense. This initially defended the leadership without major problems. However, shortly before the break, Tadic took the penalty for the next goal. Morten Hjulmand hit the striker in an attempt to clear the foot, with the penalty placed Admiras Andreas Leitner had no chance.

The second half started very badly for Hartberg: midfielder Bakary Nimaga had to leave the field. The Oststeirer tried very hard, Tadic and Rep missed from an acute angle to Leitner. The subsequent corner kick after the Slovenian’s attempt finally brought the guests the Rotter draw, which he easily beat his opponent.

Stefan Maierhofer, who was not included in the team, now saw Admira stagger. Hartberg was playfully the most stable team. First, it was Admira who came close to goal with her next real shot at goal after a 60-minute break through Tomislav Tomic (79th). Hartberg finally managed to turn things around from another corner: Chabbi, who had been substituted a little over a minute earlier, made use of Luckeneder’s head extension.
