FC Pinzgau is still in a small crisis. The team from Saalfelden deservedly lost the Regionalliga West match in Bischofshofen 2-0. Even more bitter than the defeat was a serious injury to Tamas Tandari. The captain ruptured his Achilles tendon. 

Tandari had to leave the field after just 38 minutes in the derby. FC Pinzgau later announced that the veteran had torn his Achilles tendon and would be absent for months. 

Shortly after the injury shock, the hosts took the lead through a directly converted corner from Elias Kircher. "An incredible goal," enthused Bischofshofen coach Thomas Schnöll. His protégé Kristo Shehu then made it 2:0 in the second half. "We played extremely well and should have decided the game earlier," said the coach. Pinzgau coach Johannes Schützinger also admitted: "Bischofshofen deserved to win, they were much more aggressive than us." The Saalfelden team's focus is now on the regional cup final on Wednesday.

Anif celebrates important victory

In the Salzburg League, Anif managed a 1:0 win in the six-point game against Golling. The relegation-threatened Flachgau side thus moved closer to the competition and are now only two points behind Golling. In the second holiday match, Bramberg celebrated a 2-0 away win in Siezenheim.
