The promotion favorite celebrated a 3-0 victory in Lafnitz on Saturday and remains top of the table with the maximum number of points of 15. The Innviertel team also remains goalless. In the second game on Saturday, SV Stripfing also achieved a comfortable 3-0 home victory against SV Horn.
The match in Lafnitz was on the verge of being cancelled due to heavy rain, and referee Alain Sadikovski finally kicked off the match 20 minutes late. Ried was the dominant team as expected, but coach Maximilian Senft’s team needed a good hour and a handball penalty to take the lead. Goalgetter Mark Grosse did not miss the opportunity from the penalty spot (58th minute). In the final minutes, Ante Bajic (90th minute) and Grosse again (93rd minute) scored for the Upper Austrians.
Darijo Pecirep (7th) as well as Gabryel (69th) and Sanel Saljic (71st) secured three points for the Stripfinger with their goals. The 2nd league matinee on Sunday morning (10.30 a.m.) will be played by the two Styrian clubs Voitsberg and Kapfenberg in western Styria; during the week the promoted team eliminated KSV 2-0 away in the cup.
