19th round Westliga – Pinzgauer win clearly – St. Johann with zero number

On Good Friday, FC Pinzgau won 3-0 against bottom-placed Wolfurt. Once again the Brazilian Gabriel Messias was the match winner with two goals. Meanwhile, St. Johann near Schwaz couldn’t get beyond a draw.

Pinzgau coach Johannes Schützinger wanted to see focus and concentration from his team against Wolfurt, bottom of the table. At the beginning the Vorarlbergers put up a good defense and defended with all their might. But Semir Gvozdjar broke through the wall (32nd) and made it 1-0 from a completely unmarked shot in the penalty area. A short time later, Gabriel Messias, whose compatriot Joao Pedro Gomes da Silva had to sit on the bench for a short time due to a strain, scored from a corner (36′). Even in the second half the game only went in one direction, namely towards the Wolfurt goal. However, the Pinzgauers had a hard time playing, struggling with small mistakes and imprecise passes. So a standard situation was needed again. The Ländle team forgot one of the smallest players on the field when the home team took a corner. The Brazilian Messiah put the lid on it with his brains (73′). “We are not yet in top form as we were in the fall. But I have the impression that things are going in the right direction,” said trainer Hannes Schützinger with satisfaction. “We didn’t allow much. Otherwise we have to play it even better every now and then,” the coach knows what needs to be worked on. The second Salzburg club on Friday evening was St. Johann. The Pongauers are dangerously close to the relegation zone and need points. In Schwaz, Ernst Lottermoser’s team couldn’t get past a 0-0 draw. “It was a step in the right direction. “We were safe at the back,” summed up coach Ernst Lottermoser with satisfaction. The game was characterized by strong gusts of wind, which meant that nice moves were in short supply. The chance of the game went to Aboubacar Cisse, who ran alone towards the goalkeeper in the 45th minute. The state cup at Anif continues on Monday.
