One day following the men’s cup final, the women’s highest domestic cup competition was also regarding the title. The SKN St. Pölten managed to underpin its supremacy in Austrian women’s football. The Lower Austrians clinched their ninth cup win in a row with a 3-1 final win once morest the SCR Altach/FFC Vorderland syndicate on Monday followingnoon and thus laid the foundation for winning the double once more. The 19-year-old Sarah Mattner-Trembleau was outstanding in the Ergo Arena in Wiener Neustadt with a brace (13th, 77th).
In addition, captain Jasmin Eder (18th) also entered the shooter list. The Vorarlberg team, who recently set a new all-time record win with an 18-0 win over Altenmarkt in the Bundesliga, only managed to spoil the result with a dream free-kick from Maria Olsen (35th). Nevertheless, they might be satisfied, as getting into the final was a first and therefore a great success. St. Pölten is also on course in the league towards another championship title, following 13 of 18 rounds the advantage over the pursuer Sturm Graz is five points. Altach is another six points behind in third place.
Before the eyes of the ÖFB leadership and women’s team boss Irene Fuhrmann, Mattner-Trembleau initiated the victory of the favorites early on. Mattner-Trembleau also had the necessary luck, as her shot found its way into the goal from the not-best angle via the inside bar. The Vorarlberg team almost hit back, but goalkeeper Carina Schlueter was on the ball with a volley from Bereuter (15′). The Lower Austrians were more efficient and also used the next chance. After a cross from Zver, the completely unprotected captain Eder was able to head in from a short distance.
No defeat in the cup since 2012
Everything seemed decided early on, but a stroke of genius brought the outsider back into the game. Probably intended as a cross, a free kick from a long distance from the side by the 22-year-old Danish Olsen sank over Schlueter into the far corner. After the restart, both sides had few chances, St. Pölten, who last lost a game in the cup on March 10, 2012, were no longer in danger. The final point was reserved for Mattner-Trembleau, who converted directly following a Lemesova header.
The favorite didn’t have to fight as hard as in the tight 3-2 league on October 23, 2022. “The game was really close, it was a very experienced performance from us,” said St. Pölten’s trainer Liese Brancao in an ORF interview . Due to the better squad, you got a “clear 3:1” in the end. Apart from the first triumph in 2013, which, like the one in 2014, was still under the name ASV Spratzern, Eder was present at all cup triumphs. “The team is always changing, so every year it’s special, extremely beautiful and priceless,” summed up the ex-ÖFB team player. Mattner-Trembleau was “really happy” and smelled a rat. “Winning the cup final is the first step, but I’m hungry for more.”
The Altacher then spoke of the expected difficult game. “We did quite well, at times I had the feeling that we were closer to equalizing than St. Pölten were to the third goal. Despite the defeat, we’re taking a lot with us,” said coach Bernhard Summer. According to ÖFB team player Eileen Campbell, you are “getting closer” to the league croesus. (apa)
