Friday's second round of the Salzburg Provincial Football Cup is history. And it brought more surprises: Salzburgligigist Neumarkt was eliminated in Adnet, Niedernsill/Uttendorf once again became a giant-killer.

This time, things went well for Straßwalchen without any trouble or injuries: Following Greiner's cruciate ligament rupture, Lettner (cruciate ligament tear and meniscus damage) and Schörghofer (pubic bone) were also ruled out. Nothing happened in the 1-0 win in Plainfeld. "The Young Guns did a great job. The season can come," said a satisfied coach Bernhard Huber-Rieder. Wildmann scored the golden goal (17th), after which the favorites missed further good opportunities at the 1st Landesliga returnees before the ball hit the bar on the other side in the final.

Late golden goal in the village duel
Bramberg, who won a heated village duel 1:0 in front of 500 spectators in Mühlbach im Pinzgau, summed things up in a similar way. After a deflected corner, things happened very quickly, newcomer Lazzeri got ahead of everyone and outran keeper Unterweger to score the goal of the day (88'). "Luckily there were no injuries. That's why the atmosphere was so heated and the referees added fuel to the fire," reported Bramberg boss Martin Innerhofer.

Meanwhile, Neumarkt, who lost 0:2 in Adnet, are out. Meanwhile, Flachau surprisingly eliminated Altenmarkt 3:1 in the Pongau derby, while second graders and giant-killers Niedernsill/Uttendorf were able to extend their run, beating 2nd Landesliga Süd representatives Neukirchen on penalties after Zell am See (1st division). Puch, who had the upper hand after a goalless first half in St. Koloman despite many absentees, and Eben, who prevailed 2-0 in Großarl, left nothing to be desired.
