“Inexplicable! The worm is in!” Vienna Austria gave away a 1-0 lead for the third time in a row. After the 1:2 defeat against Altach, there is also a sporting crisis in the distribution circle.
“We are in a hole, we don’t need to sugarcoat the situation and we have to fight our way out,” said Austria coach Michael Wimmer before the game in Altach. Said, but not done! The Violets were once again unable to achieve their long-awaited breakthrough; after the 1-2 defeat (the fifth in the league), they are now in a real crisis for the first time in terms of sport, with just five points. Although Violett took the lead 1-0 for the third time in a row through Handl (5th), the guests were once again unable to get the “threesome” over time: “We are making it far too easy for the opponent. Inexplicable, the worm is in there!”, Dominik Fitz was perplexed. Because Altach first equalized through Fadinger after a simple Koller pass from their own half (7th), before five minutes later the ball jumped into Gruber’s hand in his own penalty area, referee Gishamer pointed to the spot after a VAR check and Bähre made it 2 :1 asked: “A bad decision, everything happened from a short distance. “I’m really no longer familiar with the rules,” grumbled Gruber. Things also got heated in the 34th minute when Guenouche hit the crossbar from five meters but was kicked in the legs by Ingolitsch. The VAR reported again, everyone waited for the late penalty whistle, which Gishamer didn’t give. Austria was able to celebrate at the finish (77th), even if only briefly. The VAR was used again, but Gruber took the ball with his hand during the follow-up shot. In the end there were disappointed faces, only tenth place and without a win in the league for 50 days. Austria therefore remains in a hole not only financially.
