Wolfsberger AC 0: 1: Linzers leave points

LASK suffered a 0-1 defeat in their home game against WAC on Sunday. Linz lost all chances for the championship title and gave SK Rapid the opportunity to regain second place in the table on Sunday evening.

Shon Weissman caused a late victory goal with a penalty in the 88th minute. The fourth placed team of Ferdinand Feldhofer will again be represented internationally in the coming year. Even with a highly successful challenge to the four-point deduction in the training case, this can no longer be made up.

It was a flattering victory, the LASK failed as a better team because of the opportunity utilization. The team of Valerien Ismael defends in the last two rounds against Rapid (away) and champions Salzburg (h) in second place, which would mean qualification for the Champions League.

In addition to Weissman, Feldhofer relied on the robust striker Alexander Schmidt, who also prepared the first good opportunity for Michael Liendl. The Carinthian playmaker did not hit the ball from a central position (7th). The guests were initially closer to the tour, but without becoming really specific. Dangerous deals from Reinhold Ranftl (19th) and Christopher Wernitznig (22nd) went next to the gate.

After a drinking break (from the 28th) the LASK got through with its direct game better. Dominik Frieser was unable to process a sharp Ranftl cross in by head (32 ‘). The Linz reprint brought additional top chances before the break: Frieser’s header touched the crossbar (36th), then WAC goalie Alexander Kofler unpacked a good reflex against Marko Raguz (43th). And in the 45th minute, Frieser just missed again by direct acceptance.

LASK better – WAC meets

Both coaches opted for the striker swap at the break: Samuel Tetteh replaced the pale Husein Balic. At WAC, Cheikhou Dieng came for the busy Schmidt, who had been sidelined five times. The first chance had after the change of sides once again belonged to the WAC: Wernitznig dubbed Gernot Trauner via overshoot, but his shot became the prey of LASK goalkeeper Alexander Schlager (47.).

After a tight free kick by Peter Michorl from just under 30 meters just missed the cross, the game calmed down. Half of the WAC remained more frequented – there were hardly any top-class chances. The Linzer looked fresher until the end, Ismael brought another center forward with Joao Klauss.

The WAC hardly managed any relief in the finish, but then cheered the Lucky Punch: Dominik Reiter brought Dieng to the ground with an awkward action in the penalty area. Weissman did not miss this chance. The Israeli decelerated against Schlager and shot in the middle of his 27th goal of the season.
