TSV Hartberg wins a point from St. Pöltner NV Arena after a 2-0 defeat. Strong like a bear Rajko Rep and Thomas Rotter attack for the brave fighters of Styria.
With one exception, SKN coach Robert Ibertsberger relied on the same starting eleven as in the 4-0 away win at Altach, only bringing Nicolas Meister on offensive end for George Davies, who was not yet 100. percent fit. Markus Schopp Rajko Rep was rotated in the Hartberg team by the suspended Bakary Nimaga, while Manfred Gollner and Andreas Lienhart replaced Christian Klem and Stefan Gölles in the winger positions. Despite the 2 degrees Celsius, a fiery game developed at the NV Arena. However, Styria’s own started a fire in the middle of the first half. Both in the 1-0 for St. Pölten by center forward Alexander Schmidt, and in the 2-0 for St. Pölten by Robert Ljubicic, they were wrong. Schmidt had it too easy in the game against Gollner and Ljubicic was amazed at how much space and time he had to accept the ball before graduation, because neither center-back in command was close to him.
Then the Styrians appeared
After that, however, the Hartberger suddenly warmed up the St. Pölten and after half an hour Rep shortened with a “bow lamp”, which SKN goalkeeper Christoph Riegler could not correctly assess, to 1: 2 from the perspective of Styria. Instead, Riegler avoided the tie with two big saves against Dario Tadic, and SKN center-back Michael Steinwender was on the line once when Rep shot and chest fought. The suddenly dominant Hartberger came before the break with 9: 5 shots on target.
Three minutes after the restart, Riegler parried a free kick deflected by Rep with his foot forward, Gollner forgave the margin with gross negligence. Then the game turned the other way and Swete destroyed a shot from Meister (57th) and Schmidt (61st). Schopp then brought with Seifedin Chabbi a second royal council alongside Tadic and the Hartberger reared again. In the 74th minute, Chabbi barely missed a great pass from Rep. In the 83rd minute, Thomas Rotter headed in from a corner to make it 2-2. This was Hartberger’s fifth goal immediately after a corner kick. In the 88th minute, Swete and Riegler cleared shots from Daniel Luxbacher and Rep, respectively, in a few seconds, saving their clubs one point each. For the Hartbergers it is the fifth draw. No other club in the Bundesliga has shared points so often.
