In the second leg of the KFV Cup final, Köttmannsdorf's Adis Ajkic shot the linesman down with a water bottle - the game was on the verge of being abandoned. In the end, Köttmannsdorf triumphed over Grafenstein in a penalty shoot-out. In the Carinthian league, Spittal's chairman Michael Pech resigned. Only one player has a contract for next season. . .

"I feel like I've gotten 20 years older," moaned Köttmannsdorf coach Alex Suppantschitsch after the second leg of the KFV Cup final. No wonder! His team squandered a two-goal lead from the first leg (2:0) at home against Grafenstein. Grafenstein led 3:1 after regulation time, so the game went to a penalty shoot-out. Ambrosch saved the shot from Grafenstein's Wallner and Köttmannsdorf's Sallinger slammed the ball into the left corner of the net to give "Cup-Mannsdorf" their second title since '21/22 and the ÖFB Cup. The dream ticket? "Sturm Graz!", sounds "Soup".

Köttmannsdorf's Adis Ajkic had caused a real scandal! After being criticized twice in the 28th minute, he was sent off with a yellow-red card. On his way off, he kicked a drinking bottle, which hit the linesman directly under the eye. The match was about to be abandoned, but was able to continue after an interruption of several minutes.

Unrest in Spittal
Meanwhile, chaos reigned at league opponents Spittal! Apart from goalkeeper Soldo, none of the players have a valid contract for next season - nor does coach Philipp Dabringer. In addition, chairman and financial backer Michael Pech, who has invested €16,000 over the last two and a half years, has resigned. "My vision for the future doesn't match the rest of the board!"
