After the 25:24 home win, the Viennese also won on Wednesday at HC Linz with 30:26 (14:15) and thus made the final 2:0 in the “best of three” final series. The Upper Austrians missed their first title since 1996. The Viennese are saying goodbye to the domestic top league for financial reasons. The reasons for this include the lack of a home hall and sponsors who have dropped out.
West Wien started well, took a 2-0 lead and increased to 8:5 in the first half, but then the hosts managed to equalize and at 12:11 they took the lead for the first time. It remained so tight until the break, Linz went into the dressing room with a one-goal lead.
Even after a change of sides, the guests managed to get a three-goal lead up to 23:20. Once again the hosts came close to one goal (22:23), but then the Viennese pulled ahead to 28:22 until the 53rd minute of the second half. The Upper Austrians could no longer break this lead.
