Due to the damaged SC Bad Hofgastein playing facility, the Pongau team played their sixth away game in a row. 80 tons of missing Sahara sand still stand in the way of a return to your own turf.
1st regional league leader Neumarkt welcomed Bad Hofgastein on Saturday. Despite the large difference in points, the locals were warned, because the Pongauers are used to playing abroad like no other team in the lower house. Reason for this: The twelfth pitch, which was recently renovated, has no longer been playable since the violent storm in August. That’s why Bad Hofgastein played its sixth game away from home in a row. As expected, the guests made things difficult for the Wallerseers, and it wasn’t until the 89th minute that Christian Brandl scored a brace for the favorites to win 2-1. “I’m super proud of the performance,” said visiting coach Achim Sametreiter, who would like to return to his own pitch. What is missing? “80 tons of Sahara sand,” explained the coach. However, its arrival time is still uncertain. If things go according to plan, the upcoming Pongau derby against Altenmarkt could take place on our own facility. Sametreiter: “The chances are 50:50.” Laurent Seiringer1.
