In the 28th round of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga, FC Blau-Weiß Linz celebrated a 2-1 win over SCR Altach in the qualifying group. It is the first three-pointer after 13 winless league games for the Upper Austrians.
The guests get off to a dream start. After just two minutes, Mohamad Ouedraogo is spot on. After Nicolas Schmid drains a Fadinger shot, the midfielder from Burkina Faso just has to push in. As a result, Linz failed to advance dangerously close to the goal.
Ronivaldo’s double pack turns things around
After the break, coach Gerald Scheiblehner is forced to react and brings three fresh players into the game. This gives the home team’s game more dynamism.
Altach comes under more and more pressure, so Linz forces an equalizer through striker Ronivaldo, who is ideally served by Mitrovic and heads it in after just over an hour of play (61.)
As a result, the game becomes increasingly characterized by tougher duels. One of those duels has serious consequences. Dobras is felled in the penalty area and is awarded a penalty. Ronivaldo steps up and converts ice cold – game turned.
Thanks to their home win, the Linz team can further distance themselves from bottom team Austria Lustenau, eight points behind Vorarlberg. Altach was able to be overtaken, the Vorarlbergers are one place behind with the same number of points.
