Three changes to Sturm II
With three changes compared to the opening game against Vienna, which was played in Wiener Neustadt and ended 1-1, SK Sturm Graz II went into the away game at FAC Vienna in the 18th round of the Admiral 2nd League. Returnee Simon Nelson replaced the suspended Haider, and Hödl came into the starting line-up for Stückler. Change number three affected coach Jürgen Säumel, who had to sit in the stands after being red against Floridsdorf and was represented by “Co” Thomas Kaiser.
About the match: FAC was slightly superior on the field in the first half, had more opportunities than Sturm II, but neither here nor there were any compelling chances to score. At FAC, Falvio appeared twice in front of the storm goal, but keeper Matteo Bignetti, who also wore the captain’s bow, was able to shine. Bertaccini put a shot over the Graz goal. From Sturm’s point of view, Stosic’s header onto the crossbar can be mentioned. After the change it was a similar picture, the FAC dominated the game and waited patiently for its chance. This opened up in the 78th minute when Nermin Haljeta was ideally played in front of the Graz goal and had no trouble putting the ball into Bignetti’s goal from close range. In stoppage time, Scharmer had a possible equalizer in front of him, but he missed a volley. So it remained 1-0 for the home team.
