The Steelsharks Traun win the Cointoss and start with their defense. The Giants can’t do anything once morest the Trauner defense in the first drive. After an interception caught by Giants DB Sebastian Schrenk, a pass from Wyatt Smith to Julian Kapellari made the first touchdown of the game. The subsequent PAT by Valentin Bader was good – 7:0. There was nothing more to get in the first quarter. A Steelshark field goal was unsuccessful.
In the second quarter, too, the right to play the ball initially switched back and forth without a point. With a minute on the clock, the Giants managed to write once more. Jonas Dachs-Wiesinger caught the ball in the end zone. The subsequent two point conversion was unsuccessful. In the final seconds before half-time, the Steelsharks wrote through Mandl for the first time. The subsequent PAT was good. It went into halftime at 13:7.
Kapellari scored once more in the third quarter. The subsequent PAT was good. After a Steelshark fumble, Giants DB Adam Tichy carried the ball into the end zone. The PAT was blocked – 26:7.
In the last quarter, the Steelsharks start a catch-up race. A pass into the end zone to Clayton scored 6 points. Trauner’s PAT was also good. Thanks to Jarman, the Steelsharks were able to write once more and the PAT was good once more. The Grazer defense prevented more points and so the game ended with a 26:21 victory for the Thalheim Graz Giants.
“We came away with a win. We made it, but it wasn’t our best game. We’ve got a lot of injuries right now, but hopefully we’ll be better and fitter next Gameweek once morest the Dragons.” so Giants Head Coach Michael Mattingly.
