Ried lost 1-0 to Altach in Friday’s Bundesliga relegation showdown, putting them three points behind with two rounds to go. According to SVR coach Maximilian Senft, the decisive own goal should not have been recognized because of offside.
“We are very, very disappointed and upset. We are upset with our own performance. We are absolutely mad at ourselves,” explains the frustrated Ried supervisor after the end of the game in an interview with Sky. Probably also because of the decisive goal of the evening. Stefan Haudum headed to the bar after a corner, from where the ball bounced to Ungar and then into the goal. “He’s blocking our goalie in defence, looks a lot offside to me,” said Senft. “And we still had a really good chance after conceding. But we have to use our top players if we want to stay up there. We’re four points behind and it’s no longer in our own hands. But it’s our job to force Altach to score. We’ll concentrate on that.” “A certain relief” Klaus Schmidt was naturally happy. The conclusion of the victorious Altach coach: “Of course it’s a certain relief for us. We started the qualifying group with a win and then stumbled through. It was a victory for morale. The team was on point today, but today it was no more and no less than three points. We’re still three points away from staying up. We got into transitions well and also had deals. Tactically, we behaved very cleverly for the most part. Ried is dangerous with set pieces, but we were prepared for these situations.”
