Pfarrwerfen extend successful run in derby

Pfarrwerfen secured three important points in the battle to avoid relegation in the 1st Salzburg Provincial League with a 3-0 home win against relegated Altenmarkt in a turf duel in Pongau.

It took until the second half for goals to be scored, but in the end Pfarrwerfen deservedly defeated the favored guests from Altenmarkt 3:0. Stefano Leutgab initiated the victory and was an important key to this success. "Our team spirit made the difference in the end," explained Pfarrwerfen coach Martin Baier. "We're holding initial talks with players for next season, regardless of the league. A sign of the good atmosphere in our team."

Team cohesion is very important to us. It's the only way we can achieve our goal of staying in the league!

A topsy-turvy world at Altenmarkt
His boys remain undefeated this year, but the situation is different at relegated Altenmarkt: After historic success, there was a major upheaval last year. "I'm happy to have taken the path with the youngsters, but it's still difficult at the moment! We will reap the rewards in one or two years," predicts Altenmarkt section manager Christopher Kiedl. With this defeat, the team is now even in the relegation battle.

Luck will return at some point.

Meanwhile, Hallwang must fear for the point they picked up in the 1-1 draw against ATSV Salzburg: Due to inconsistencies in the match report, the game could be penalized.
