Important last-minute victory against Altach

The international cap break was used to work on a few things in the tactical area. Thomas Letsch changed his starting line-up in the following positions: Michael Madl fell ill, Ruan and Michael Blauensteiner were not in the squad this time.

Abdul Mohammed Kadiri and Alexandar Borkovic formed the central defence in the back four. Vesel Demaku (starting eleven debut) and Tarkan Serbest started in the midfield, Raphael Holzhauser managed the game on the right side. Felipe Pires started on the left wing and Christoph Monschein and Kevin Friesenbichler formed the striker duo.

Dominik Prokop could not play because of a slight injury in the adductor area, Alexander Grünwald celebrated his 45-minute competitive comeback on Friday with the B-team.

SCRA Coach Klaus Schmidt had to play without the suspended Louis Ngwat Mahop, but could otherwise draw from full sources.

The guests from Altach opened the game with the first chance to score: Stefan Nutz played an ideal pass to Christian Gebauer, who missed the goal only by millimetres alone in front of Patrick Pentz (4').

During a free kick by Raphael Holzhauser Kevin Friesenbichler was held back by Philipp Netzer, referee Manuel Schüttengruber decided on a penalty.
