What a great derby between the WAC and Austria Klagenfurt! Only the 19th (!) penalty took the Lavanttaler into the quarter-finals of the ÖFB Cup. WAC goalie Lukas Gütlbauer heard that from the referee at the end, which is why Wolfsberg president Dietmar Riegler was already convinced of their progression at the break. .

The "overtime experts" have struck again! No home team has had to go into extra time in the Cup more often than the WAC in recent years - ten times (!) in the last 20 games! Four of them went to penalties, with the last two being missed - in the semi-final against Salzburg in '22 and last year in the round of 16 against Leoben. And then on Wednesday, after this high-class penalty shoot-out battle, the big cheers erupted.
