The struggle for promotion in the 2nd soccer league got even tighter on Friday evening at the start of the 21st round. Leader of the table St. Pölten played 2-2 in Lafnitz and is now one point ahead of pursuer Blau-Weiss Linz, who surprisingly lost 2-1 at Young Violets Austria Vienna, who had been bottom of the table. The third-placed GAK benefited from the slip-ups, who are only two points behind first place after a 3-2 win at the second team of Sturm Graz.
