Blue and White coach: “We are on the right track”

“It takes a load off my mind.” Who would have thought that these words would come from an opponent after a 0-0 draw with FC Blau-Weiß Linz in the Bundesliga. After seven defeats in a row, Austria Lustenau goalkeeper Domenik Schierl was relieved after the zero number.

The newcomer from Upper Austria, on the other hand, was annoyed by a weak first half – and the extension of the home defeat: Even the fifth home game of the season in the new Hofmann Personal Stadium was not a complete success. “We were too harmless offensively in the first half, had difficulty creating scoring chances and went into halftime with luck,” said BW coach Gerald Scheiblehner.

His team was lucky because Lustenau was always dangerous, especially on counterattacks, and scored two goals, which were narrowly disallowed due to offside positions. After the break, his team got into the game better, and from the 60th minute onwards they almost kept Vorarlberg in their own half.

The match points had two substitutes on their feet in the finish: Simon Seidl shot the ball next to the goal from eleven meters in the 82nd minute after a cross from Simon Seidl, Stefan Urlaub was even closer: Lustenau keeper Schierl was already beaten, but A guest kicker cleared the holiday goal before the line. Scheiblehner: “We’re taking the score 0-0 and haven’t conceded a goal. We’re on the right track.”

After all, the Vorarlbergers were kept at a distance from the Blue-Whites thanks to the draw – and on Saturday they will make their next attempt at their first home win in the regular half against Wolfsberg at the start of the second half of the season.
