Victory and defeat of the ÖFB clubs – football –

After the night of the European Cup had already started well from the Austrian point of view with Rapid Wien’s first victory, the other two ÖFB representatives in the UEFA Europa League wanted to follow suit with successes.

WAC loses outnumbered

WAC competed at Dinamo Zagreb with a severely weakened replacement due to some crown cases. However, some actors also missed the Croats due to illness. Coach Feldhofer also had to resign from the services of Michael Liendl, who was able to shine in Rotterdam a week ago.

Shortly before the end of a goalless first half, Carinthian Taferner lost with the yellow-red card. The WAC then naturally concentrated on defense when they were outnumbered after the restart. For a long time, the Austrians were able to successfully fend off increasingly strong hosts, but just a quarter of an hour before the end the moment finally came. Atiemwen defeated Kofler with his far-angle shot to make it 1-0.

Unfortunately, the WAC could not find an answer to that, it was left with defeat by a narrow margin. Dinamo Zagreb take the championship lead in Group K one point ahead of Lavanttal’s team.

LASK ends an incredible series at home

With the strongest team, at least on paper, LASK was able to compete in the conquering Tottenham of Antwerp. Los Altos Austria were also decisive for the game in the first 45 minutes, but without becoming mandatory. The hosts were also unable to register a meaningful conclusion so it was logical the 0-0 in the dressing room.

Nine minutes after the break, Linz took the lead. Gruber took off on the right side, serving Eggestein on second pole and the latter taking sovereignly into the short corner. From ’67, however, Thalhammer’s proteges had to act with one less man, Holland had to leave the field with yellow and red.

In the end, the Linz team built a narrow lead over time. With this victory, LASK not only put an end to the incredible home series of the Belgians, who last lost a home game before 539. Besides Upper Austria, two other teams from Group J with Tottenham and Antwerp have six points on your account. The tension about promotion to the knockout stage of the Europa League is inevitable.
