Winter king
LIVE from 5pm: WSG Tirol host SK Sturm
League leaders Sturm Graz ended the fall in the Bundesliga with a fitting 3:0 (1:0) victory at WSG Tirol.
In the 16th round, the champions, who were outnumbered for around half an hour, were satisfied with a restrained performance with a strong finish on Saturday. The goals were scored by William Böving (15th), Seedy Jatta (80th) and Malick Yalcouye (85th) and the dress rehearsal for the Champions League match at OSC Lille next Wednesday was a success.
In a less than spectacular match, Sturm's Tochi Chukwuani (41') was first sent off with a yellow card, followed by WSG man Cem Üstündag towards the end (72') - the "nail in the coffin" for both was unsportsmanlike conduct. Sturm will therefore spend the winter at least three points ahead of the leaders, while WSG, who were completely harmless on the evening, will do so in ninth or tenth place.
Leading goal by Böving
WSG did a solid job at the start without the suspended midfield engine Matthäus Taferner, but were somewhat surprised to fall behind early on. The Tyroleans were caught off guard with four quick passes and Böving completed the Danish co-production with a powerful finish from a few meters after a Stangl pass from Mika Biereth.
Sturm, with Niklas Geyrhofer replacing the suspended Emanuel Aiwu in the defensive center and two new players in the starting eleven in Böving and Erencan Yardimici, controlled the action after the 1:0, but lacked any real pressure. Tirol goalkeeper Adam Stejskal only had to stretch for a Yardimci header (35').
Twice yellow-red
Shortly afterwards, the striker had to leave the pitch for Jatta, and a little later the next player from Graz left the pitch involuntarily. Midfielder Chukwuani was shown a yellow card for a foul and unsportsmanlike conduct in the space of just one minute, giving the Tyroleans' hopes fresh impetus.
After the change of ends, the action was initially on a slippery slope, but the home side lacked any sparkling ideas. In the 72nd minute, Üstündag tied the scores again with a foul in the penalty area, but his team were lucky shortly afterwards: Böving's long-range shot bounced off the bottom edge of the crossbar and back into the box. Jatta and Yalcouye then made sure of a clear finish.
