7-0 in Pregarten, 5-2 against Admira, 2-0 against 1860 Munich, 1-1 against St. Gallen, 4-2 against Debrecen and today at the kick-off against Vienna in the Raiffeisen Arena on the Gugl 4: 2 (2: 2) – LASK has unbeaten completed its preparations for the 2023/24 football season, which begins on Friday with the first-round cup match at SC Röthis.

However, one problem child remains: the new right-back Sanoussy Ba was eliminated in the 18th minute with a shoulder injury. Instead, a different approach emerged in front of 3267 spectators who enjoyed free beer. Senegalese striker Moussa Kone, who joined the Black and Whites from Olympique Nimes, showed his prowess as a goalscorer.

He was always there where it became dangerous in the opposing penalty area. The 26-year-old made it 2-1 (11th) and made it 2-2 (40th) shortly before the break after Florian Flecker crossed the ball. It was deserved at that point. However, the LASK had completely overslept the start at 35 degrees. Second division club Vienna led 2-0 in the 4th minute, with the new LASK goalkeeper Tobias Lawal not giving a happy figure when Marvin Schuster and Luca Edelhofer conceded.

Strong gesture from Peter Michorl

Apart from that, the LASK defense was not always solid before the break. Within 60 seconds, Döbling found two top chances to make it 3-1 (35′, 36′), Lawal saved once and the second attempt went wrong. These are definitely warning shots from which the athletes have to draw their lessons. Regardless, they tried to press high and were dominant for long stretches. That should be rewarded. Substitute Branko Jovicic gave LASK a 3-2 lead after a change of sides with a deflected long-range shot (48th).

At this point in time, Linz’s hottest transfer share was also involved. Namely Keito Nakamura, who was warmly celebrated by the audience. After the Japanese had been placed in the penalty area, the fans chanted “Keito, Keito” loudly calling for the fouled man. Peter Michorl showed himself to be a team player and passed the ball on to Nakamura, who confidently pocketed it from an ominous point to make it 4:2 (55). The team’s internal climate fits.

Whistles for Monschein

After a change of sides, new coach Thomas Sageder changed his squad, only new striker Ivan Ljubic (before the break in defensive midfield, then in central defense) played almost the full distance (85 minutes). At the end there was a lot of applause from the ranks.

Only ex-LASK attacker Christoph Monschein had to endure a whistle concert when he came on at Vienna in the 60th minute.

Kick-off in the Raiffeisen Arena: LASK – Vienna 4: 2 (2: 2).
