Grödig narrowly defeated Hallwang in the eighth round of the Salzburg League. After a dream start, the promoted team is in the middle of a negative streak. Puch surprised with a strong performance and won 3:2 against Bramberg.

Despite a mediocre performance, Grödig won 2:1 at Hallwang, handing the promoted team their fifth defeat in a row. "That certainly wasn't our best performance, maybe we were also tired," said Grödig coach Arsim Deliu. This was another reason why he gave his players a few days off. "They should forget about soccer for a while, let themselves get a turnip," Deliu alluded to Rupertikirtag.

Meanwhile, Puch could now also be on a roll. The 3:2 win against Bramberg was their second victory of the week. "We played very well in the second half, we had more willpower. It feels good," said a jubilant coach Mersudin Jukic. Today, like Sunday, three games are scheduled.
