On Friday evening in the 4th round of the Admiral 2nd league, Sturm II scored a deserved 5:2 win at SKN St. Pölten in a more than entertaining game.
The guests from Graz can look forward to a perfect start: After a nice pass from Fuseini to the top, Milan Toth runs alone to SKN goalie Franz Stolz and lets him get out with an elegant hook (16th).
On the other side, Silue initially fails with a shot from close range at Sturm goalkeeper Maric. In the following corner, however, defender Souleyman Kone climbs the highest and hits the far corner powerfully and precisely to equalize 1-1 (25th).
Sturm then has another chance to score the next goal through Toth: his powerful header from close range is parried by Stolz. A little later, Fuseini has the 100 percent on his foot: The 20-year-old from Ghana runs towards Stolz alone and has all the time in the world – but his shot is too weak and Stolz holds the ball firmly in his hands.
Two red cards against St. Pölten
After a change of sides, Fuseini finally does it better: again he appears alone with pride, allows himself to be pushed a little to the right side, but after another hook against a defender, Fuseini finally scores the deserved 2-1 for Graz (53 minutes). .).
But the joy is short-lived: Kevin Monzialo fills up the middle through the attacking defence, ideally serves Luis Hartwig, who has run along on the left, and the German defeats goalie Maric to equalize 2-2 (56 ‘).
After that it gets rough: Grube gets his elbow in the face in a duel against Conte, fellow player Kronberger then pushes Conte down, whereupon Monzialo grabs Kronberger by the throat. The Frenchman receives red, Kronberger gets away with a yellow card (60th).
Eight minutes later, the next St. Pöltner had to leave the field prematurely: Conte saw a yellow-red card after fouling Fuseini.
In the majority, the new lead succeeds: Toth heads in powerfully and precisely after a Grube cross to make it 3:2 (73rd). Five minutes later, Stückler raised the ball under the bar with a powerful shot. Toth adds his third goal (82′).
Sturm has now moved up to fifth place with seven points. After the first defeat of the season, St. Pölten is in seventh place with the same number of points.
