In addition to Robert Zulj, Marin Ljubicic and Branko Jovicic, Elias Havel was also a new signing for the team of new coach Thomas Sageder. “In the first round we had a hard time getting through. In the second round we had a lot more grip,” the coach summed up.
Two wins for Sturm
First, coach Christian Ilzer’s team beat Partizan Belgrade 2-1 in Messendorf, with Jakob Jantscher appearing as a goalscorer via penalty. After that, the Grazers kept the upper hand against Aris Limassol with 2:0. New signing Szymon Wlodarczyk and William Böving scored the goals against the Cypriots. Ilzer: “It was an intense friendly day. I’m not completely satisfied today because I saw a few things that we need to improve over the next few weeks.”
WSG Tirol meanwhile won 2-1 in Wattens against the German third division team Sandhausen. Nik Prelec shot the Silberberger team to victory in their first appearance in the new home jersey with a brace. However, WAC in Wolfsberg suffered a 2-1 defeat in a friendly against Al Hilal.
