In the duel between the second teams between Liefering and Sturm Graz 2, the young bulls only managed a point. Daniel Beichler's team conceded the equalizer in the last second through the opposing goalkeeper.

Liefering conceded a last-second equalizer in the second division match against Sturm 2. Graz goalkeeper Matteo Bignetti headed home from a corner to make it 2:2, after which the referee blew the whistle. The Young Bulls were in a low mood after the match, which they should have won after goals from Reischl (8th) and Diabate (58th). "I'm lost for words. The way we acted after the 2:0, how reckless . . .", said coach Daniel Beichler, furious with his boys' performance. "You couldn't beat our naivety."

Reischl had put the Jungbullen ahead in the eighth minute with a header after a Trummer cross. After that it was an open game. Sturm became stronger in the second half, but Liefering went one better. Soumaila Diabate had a free shot from a corner on the edge of the box (58'). The Styrians had many chances to equalize. In the 75th minute, for example, the crossbar rattled the Bulls' goal.

Goalkeeper Hamzic said: "I'm disappointed. It was far too little in the second half." The Styrians created many chances and deserved the point in the end.
