TSV Hartberg became the first of eleven first division teams remaining in the ÖFB Cup to reach the quarter-finals on Tuesday. The Styrians won 3:0 (0:0) against Austria Lustenau in Bregenz to kick off the round of 16 in the national cup.

Donis Avdijaj (48, 86) and Dominik Prokop (55) scored the goals against Vorarlberg, who are still undefeated in the second league season, the first two after a pass from Patrik Mijic, a five-time goalscorer in the previous cup season.

In eleven league games so far, Lustenau have kept things tight at the back, conceding a total of just six goals in eight draws but only winning three. The home side's defensive work worked well before the break, with neither side creating any compelling chances. With a double strike within six minutes of each other, Hartberg ensured a clear lead soon after the break. Lustenau only had one more good chance to score, but the third goal of the game was scored by Avdijaj after a beautiful combination and pass from Furkan Demir.
