Bravo! Second division soccer team GAK prevailed 5-0 in the late game at home against Horn. Debutant Jakob Meierhofer was the hero in the runaway victory against the bottom of the league – the goalkeeper even saved a penalty. For Graz it was their first win against Horn in their fourth game.
After 17 minutes, the GAK’s home win, in which goalkeeper Jakob Meierhofer made his second division debut for the Graz team, was practically certain against Horn! At this point the “Red Jackets” were already leading 2-0. First, Lukas Gabbichler (13th) netted with a shot from the edge of the penalty area into the far corner. Shortly afterwards, Martin Harrer safely converted a 911. But then Meierhofer’s big hour struck! First he saved a penalty from Cheukoua (44th), then he reacted sensationally against Toro. “In the first 20 minutes we were very dominant,” said sports director Didi Elsneg, satisfied at the break. But: “At the end of half one we saw that we shouldn’t let up. Jakob held on to the tour for us so well! “
It continued in a similar way in the second half, at the latest at Meierhofer, Horn was the end of the line. And up front Gerald Nutz (74th), neo-dad Thomas Zündel with another penalty (85th) and Dominik Hackinger (89th) confidently made everything clear at 5-0. “I was a bit nervous, but I just turned that into a positive mood. And the saved penalty has of course gained a lot of self-confidence ”, Meierhofer grinned after the game. “I’m really happy how it went.” Coach Gernot Plassnegger was not entirely satisfied with the many chances for Horn. “The win was certainly too high, but it wasn’t happy about it either. We can be satisfied with the three points. “
