SV Ried still have a clean sheet after the fifth round of the second division. The promotion favorites celebrated a 3:0 victory in Lafnitz on Saturday and remain top of the table with a maximum of 15 points. The Innviertel side also remain unbeaten. In the second match on Saturday, SV Stripfing also recorded an unchallenged 3-0 home win against SV Horn.

The match in Lafnitz was on the verge of being called off due to heavy rainfall, but referee Alain Sadikovski finally blew the whistle 20 minutes late. Rieder were the dominant team as expected, but it took coach Maximilian Senft's side a good hour and a penalty to take the lead. Goalgetter Mark Grosse did not miss the opportunity from the spot (58'). In the final minutes, Ante Bajic (90') and Grosse again (93') scored for the Upper Austrians.

Darijo Pecirep (7), Gabryel (69) and Sanel Saljic (71) secured three points for Stripfinger with their goals. The 2nd division matinee on Sunday morning (10.30 am) will be contested by the two Styrian clubs Voitsberg and Kapfenberg in western Styria; during the week, the promoted team had eliminated KSV 2-0 away from home in the Cup.
