After the clear 28: 8 away win in Telfs, the Gladiators Ried went back to the second leg in division 2 last Saturday. The Rieder did not do justice to this role at the beginning of the game. The Tyroleans played heavily and were in the lead with two touchdowns. Shortly before half -time, the Gladiators made the important connection to 22:29. Another picture then offered around 900 visitors in the Klaus Roitinger Stadium in the third and fourth quarter of the game. The gladiators repeatedly made it into the end zone of the guests from Tyrol, who became visibly tired with the continuation of the game. This was also due to the fact that the team from Telfs was a significantly smaller squad than the Riedern. Ultimately, the Gladiators prevailed with 49:36 in a real offensive spectacle.
It was important that the deficit could be shortened before half-time, emphasized Gladiators head coach Raffael Gruber after the game “In the cabin it turned out a little louder in the cabin. But that can also happen. The team then went on the field with a completely different face,” said Gruber. The opponent’s smaller squad played his team in the cards. “We noticed that they got a little tired, we took advantage of it,” said Gruber, adding: “The joy of victory is great, especially the fact that we could turn the game in our favor gives us confidence.”
