West League leaders Austria Salzburg showed no weaknesses on Saturday, triumphing 4-1 at home against SC Röthis. The topic of promotion was omnipresent. Those responsible want to make a final decision in this regard on Monday, when the deadline ends.
Wind, rain, temperatures around 5 degrees Celsius: almost 1,000 spectators braved the poor weather and came to the Austria Stadium in Maxglan on Saturday afternoon. They didn’t regret coming: Westliga leaders celebrated a deserved 4-1 win against SC Röthis. Alexander Schwaighofer scored twice for the home team, and Marinko Sorda and Tino Kulterer also got on the scoresheet. But the victory almost became a minor matter. The whole club is looking forward to Monday. Why? At the beginning of next week – at least that’s the official version – the decision will be made as to whether the Maxglan company will submit additional documents. To maybe get a permit to play professional football after all. As is well known, Senate 5 rejected the first one. After the Maxglan venue was secured during the week, the “Krone” reported, the only thing missing is the signature of the security authorities in Steyr. Austria’s alternative location is located there. (Long-term) financing will also be crucial, as the board has repeatedly emphasized in recent weeks. Likewise, that no financial adventures will be undertaken. Coach Christian Schaider says meaningfully with regard to Monday: “Maybe we have something to celebrate.” Pursuer Pinzgauer only played a draw. FC Pinzgau Saalfelden had to accept a small setback. Coach Hannes Schützinger’s team achieved a 1-1 draw with the Altach Juniors. Goalkeeper Kilian Schröcker saved a penalty ten minutes before the end. Which is why the coach took a breather: “We are happy with the point.” Austria is now already six points ahead of second-placed Pinzgauer in the table. For the fifth time in a row, the BSK failed to win in 1933. The Bischofshofen team lost 0-1 at third-from-last Wolfurt on Saturday. This means that the reigning national champion’s crisis is finally complete. Was that it for coach Adonis Spica? “Doesn’t help anyone” Neighbors TSV St. Johann were in the lead for a long time with a 2-1 lead in the latecomers’ duel against Kufstein (13th versus 12th). A few minutes before the end, the guests equalized through ex-professional Ronald Gercaliu. “A fair division of points, but it doesn’t help anyone,” sighed St. Johann coach Ernst Lottermoser. Wals-Grünau lost 2-1 after taking the lead against SC Imst, who wanted to be promoted. “A deserved defeat,” admitted trainer Knaus.
