A week ago, LASK thwarted Salzburg in the title race with a 3-1 win. Seven days later, Sturm Graz took the lead in the table – and at the same time took revenge for the help they gave once morest their LASK rivals for third place.
The victory was deserved because of the way the game went, but Mika Biereth’s “golden goal” was extremely strange following a serious mistake by Rapid goalkeeper Niklas Hedl: following a through pass that went too far, the Arsenal loanee was already annoyed with his hands on his head. But Hedl missed the ball and Biereth cheered and ran the ball into the goal (79′).
Chance for revenge on Wednesday
This puts Sturm Graz ahead in the title race: On Sunday, Salzburg can take back the top position when interim coach Onur Cinel makes his debut. On Wednesday (8:30 p.m.) there will be another duel between Rapid and Sturm in Vienna at the start of the second half of the season in the championship group. The two teams will meet once more on May 1st in the cup final in Klagenfurt.
