Blau-Weiss Linz stumbled at the bottom – 1:2

At the bottom Young Violets, coach Gerald Scheiblehner’s team suffered their first defeat after ten unbeaten games with a 2-1 defeat.

Linzer had more of the game, but they rarely became really dangerous: In the 26th minute, Ronivaldo’s header went wide of the goal, Manuel Maranda’s heel ended up on the goal net after a corner (45th). Then came the shock in the fifth minute of stoppage time: goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid had blocked a shot from Anouar El Moukhantir directly at the feet of Dario Kreiker, who only had to push in more.

The second half began as the first half had ended: Dejan Radonjic made the home side celebrate again after a corner. The people of Linz woke up too late: First, the Scheiblehner team failed from a distance on the post, Ronivaldo’s goal (77th) was not enough.

“The defeat hurts, but above all the performance. It was a deserved victory for the Young Violets. We didn’t assert ourselves and had few solutions,” summed up BW coach Gerald Scheiblehner.
