With a 2-0 (2-0) win at SV Stripfing on Friday, Admira Wacker moved to the top of the table for the time being at the start of the 9th round of the 2nd Football League. Scottish loanees from Celtic Glasgow, Ben Summers (16) and Matthew Anderson (28), secured a well-deserved seventh win of the season.

Admira are now two points ahead of Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz, who also won, and three ahead of SV Ried. The team from Innviertel will host St. Pölten on Sunday (10.30 am).

Fifth win in a row for Vorarlberger
Bregenz had to concede an equalizer through Amir Abdijanovic after exactly one hour in their 3:1 (1:0) home win over Horn after taking an early lead thanks to Mario Vucenovic (3.). However, Anteo Fetahu (67') and Renan (77') scored to give the Vorarlberg side their fifth win in a row. Meanwhile, Kapfenberg missed the chance to stay within one point of Admira. In Amstetten, the fourth-placed "Falken" conceded 3-0 (0-1) with goals from Sebastian Leimhofer (5'), Jannik Wanner (57') and Can Kurt (69') to suffer their second defeat in a row.

SV Lafnitz are now bottom of the table. In the Styrian basement duel, they lost 2-1 (0-1) at promoted Voitsberg and had to make do with one man less from the 28th minute after Dylann Kam was shown a yellow card. Voitsberg celebrated their first win of the season and swapped places with Lafnitz, who are now three points ahead. Vienna also lost their home game against Sturm Graz II while short-handed. Noah Steiner saw red in the 38th minute of the 2:4 (1:2) defeat, leaving the Viennese team in sixth place, nine points behind Admira. Jacob Hödl scored twice for the young Grazers (10th), who have not been beaten in five games.
