GAK have taken another significant step towards the 2nd division title! With Friday's 1-0 home win against FC Admira Wacker, the possibility is alive that the team from Graz will be able to celebrate their return to the Bundesliga as spectators in just a day and a half. If SV Ried do not win at Vienna on Sunday (10.30 am), everything will be mathematically clear with four rounds to go. 

GAK rarely developed any goals in the first half at the Merkur Arena. Admira proved to be an equal opponent, with both teams neutralizing each other for long stretches.

The Reds were more dangerous after the break, but there were no real chances to score until the 70th minute, when Daniel Maderner narrowly missed. Nine minutes later, the GAK striker shot narrowly wide again.

However, Lenn Jastremski did better in the 84th minute from close range, when he curled a Stangl pass from the right straight into the goal with his heel. It stayed that way until the final whistle. Going into Sunday, GAK are 14 points ahead of Ried.
