In any case, it wasn’t due to the performance that the first home three-pointer in the fifth home game of the season didn’t work out once morest bottom team Lustenau: Coach Gerald Scheiblehner’s team took control of the game right from the start – and had it Top chances awarded especially in the finish.
In the first half, it took until the 20th minute for Linz to put its first notable shot on the visitors’ goal: Dominik Schierl parried a deflected shot. In the 32nd minute, BW goalie Nicolas Schmid had to intervene for the first time: he directed a header from Yadaly Diaby over the goal. The home team had the best chance of taking the lead: Conor Noß had picked up the pace at a moment of change and passed to Simon Pirkl, who ideally served Paul Mensah at the far corner: but the 23-year-old’s half-volley was just blocked.
Alem Pasic also almost hit the goal: following a Maranda header, the defender barely got to the ball and only hit Lustenau goalkeeper Schierl. It went into the break goalless.
Power play didn’t work
Little changed in the game in the second half either: the home team stayed on the trigger and literally restricted Vorarlberg in their own half from the 60th minute onwards. But things didn’t get really concrete in the opposing third for the time being: Paul Mensah missed opportunities with shots just outside the box (71′, 77′).
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 following a Pirkl cross, Stefan Urlaub was even closer: Lustenau keeper Schierl was already beaten, but A Alex Reed kicker cleared the holiday goal before the line.
