On the way up – 7th victory in a row: Wacker defied the problems


As if the long-distance duel with Austria Klagenfurt for the relegation place wasn’t nerve-wracking enough, there were late salary payments and severe turbulence in the club’s leadership. The question was how the team would react to the homemade disruptive factors during the game against Lafnitz.

Unimpressed. With the seventh win in a row, the Black-Greens also took third place in the table on Wednesday.

“I’m incredibly proud of the team. After everything happened, she showed a sensational character. We played an outstanding game in the first half, but left our opponents alive, ”said coach Daniel Bierofka.

12nd goal of the season for Ronivaldo
Wacker made the game unnecessarily exciting and could have decided it before the break. Ronivaldo, who scored his 12th goal of the season with a 1-0 (30th) header, had previously failed twice due to aluminum. The Brazilian hit the post (11th) with a header and hit the crossbar (19th) with a lifter. In addition, Lukas Fridrikas failed with a penalty (43.). It was the fifth penalty missed by the Tyroleans this season.

Still have to tremble
With one man more from the 63rd minute and the 2-0 lead (73rd) by Atsushi Zaizen, who came to the train for the injured Flo Jamnig, the game seemed to be over. But the victory still had to be shaken because Lafnitz made it better from the penalty point, Kröpfl (75th) scored the next goal. The Styrians had a good chance of equalizing shortly afterwards.
