The escape to the front backfired for Vorwarts Steyr: Without the suspended stabilizer Alem Pasic, coach Daniel Madlener was very offensive against FAC – but the reason for the 1:2 was the defensive blunders.
At 0:1, Miroslav Cirkovic was unable to stop FAC striker Vice Miljanic from finishing with his foot in the five after a corner. Goalkeeper Florian Eres parried, but then boxed the ball into the goal himself. Christopher Kröhn, who had played for Steyr last season, made it 2-0: he let Nicolas Zdichynec run wide in the penalty area with a hook and shot through Eres’ legs (44′).
In spite of the many offensive forces, little went forward forVorwarts Steyr. This was not only due to the defense of the runners-up: The grass on the FAC pitch is extremely bumpy – and played a part in the 1: 2: The back pass from FAC player Clemens Hubmann crashed, Pellegrini accepted the gift to make it 1: 2 (60th minute). .). Steyr did not get a second one. The only positives from a forward perspective were the comeback of Ikenna Ezeala and the debut of 16-year-old Eman Lidjan.
