The teams needed a mutual sampling phase – Flo Hart, Fabian Miesenböck and Andi Kuen were there instead of Julius Ertlthaler, Michi Lercher and Patrick Salomon – before a promising Mattersburg opportunity was created for the first time after a good quarter of an hour. Andi Gruber could not make good use of a Martin Pusic cross – the position would have been very promising.
Nevertheless, the first 20 minutes were relatively balanced, the two opponents largely neutralized themselves before the SVM visibly took command. In this phase, the leadership promptly fell. First Fabian Miesenböck indicated danger when he intercepted a pass from Christoph Schösswendter, but his shot was deflected and went over the goal.
Defender trio responsible for the 1-0
Then the doorbell rang – and it was a joint action by the Mattersburger defense network, which still had to do on the offensive after the corner kick (see above – Miesenböck shot). Only Lukas Rath, who had stayed behind, caught a ball. His ball landed at Thorsten Mahrer, whose flank was used by Jano highly effectively by rotation. Goalie Andreas Leitner stretched in vain – 1-0.
Admira? There was clearly not enough, only three shots in the direction of Mattersburg goalkeeper Markus Kuster, but none of them on the goal, testify to the relatively harmlessness of the people from the south.
Once it could have been dangerous just before the break when Schösswendter went down after a free kick in the penalty area (Alois Höller had his hands in the game), but referee Julian Weinberger did not give a penalty.
Handselfer for Admira compensation
Three minutes after the restart, the referee pointed to the ominous point when Martin Pusic went too far with his arm in the corner of a corner and promptly clapped his opponent’s ball to the prohibited place. Kolja Pusch, who had already checked with a shot in front of the corner kuster, used hard-hitting in the lower right corner. The SVN goalkeeper guessed the direction but had no chance.
Pole shot of the hosts, victory goal of the guests
What followed was a much more ambitious Admira team doing their part for a lively game – and a crazy phase in which anything would have been possible. One after the other: 63.Minute: counterattack Mattersburg, Andi Kuen on Andi Gruber, who made his usual hook inside, but closed atypically central. 69 minutes: Free kick Gruber to the bar, substitute Patrick Bürger (he is celebrating his birthday today) could not use the rebound because Erwin “Jimmy” Hoffer still slipped in between, then Flo Hart went down in a duel with Hjulmand – the 911 complaints from the Burgenland but were not increased. 72nd Minute: Admira chance over Paintil, Kolja Pusch and Sinan Bakis, which did not bring the desired success. 73.Minute: Another ball of Admira in depth, the substituted Bakis moved to the goal, played around goalie Kuster and pushed to 1: 2 in the net.
It should be the decision in this game, because Mattersburg could no longer make decisive changes afterwards and the equalization was therefore denied.
In addition, referee Weinberger also got the SVM resentment when a handball from Sinan Bakis went unpunished in the penalty area.
An extremely bitter defeat, which of course increases the pressure on the SVM accordingly. On Tuesday the WSG Tirol is the new tail light in the Pappelstadion. Simple calculation: If Mattersburg wins, they have secured relegation.
be right
SVM captain Jano: “The first half was very good for us. The Admira was dead there. But we knew that one goal wasn’t enough. If you see the second half, it was too little. We are in a situation where everyone has to know what to do. I didn’t want to wait until Tuesday (note: home game against WSG Tirol), we wanted to do it today. Some players don’t check that it’s all about. ”
SVM trainer Franz Ponweiser: “The fact that we still have it in our own hands is exactly the well that we have to draw from. But now I am extremely disappointed. We played well in the first half and got one missed second or third goal. After the break we showed too little punch and we have to get up again. In the second half I also saw some situations in which I disagree with the decisions. For me that was a clear one Handselfer von Bakis. Tomorrow we will discuss anyway, then I also expect a reaction. Today it will be a sleepless night. “
Here is the table for the Bundesliga qualifying round.
