Against Klagenfurt
LIVE from 14:30: FC BW Linz host Klagenfurt
Blau-Weiß Linz are in the top six of the Bundesliga this winter. Ronivaldo scored a brace to give the Upper Austrians a 2-1 (1-1) home win against Austria Klagenfurt on Sunday, ensuring a perfect end to the season for his team.
Blau-Weiß finished the fall in sixth place in the table, three points ahead of both LASK and Hartberg, while Klagenfurt remain third from bottom after their fourth defeat in a row.
The two goalscorers on both sides scored from foul penalties to make it 1-1 at the break: Ben Bobzien put the visitors ahead (23'), Ronivaldo equalized (39'). The 35-year-old struck again in the 67th minute, scoring his eleventh goal of the season to join Sturm's Mika Biereth at the top of the scoring charts.
Klagenfurt had traveled to Linz on the back of three defeats and a 0:12 scoreline and were keen to keep things tight at the back. With the exception of an Anderson header (7th), they initially succeeded. And Austria took the lead for the first time since the beginning of November with their first dangerous attack.
Bobzien and Ronivaldo convert penalties
After Alem Pasic fouled Bobzien, the man fouled stepped up to take the penalty himself and ended Carinthia's goal drought after 361 goalless minutes. Bobzien converted his fourth penalty of the fall, now has seven goals on the season and is the only Klagenfurt player to have scored more than one goal this season.
At the other end, a goal by Thomas Goiginger (31') was disallowed after a VAR check for a foul by Ronivaldo on goalkeeper Simon Spari. A short time later, however, the equalizer was scored. An Anderson header landed on the bar, Dikeni Salifou was too late against Simon Seidl when the ball bounced out and referee Jakob Semler again awarded a penalty. And the blue and white goalscorer held his nerve, Ronivaldo scored safely.
After the break, the 4,800 fans in the stadium on the Donaulände saw a long back-and-forth, but only as far as the penalty area. Linz took the lead with the first chance of the second half, Ronivaldo scoring into the far corner after a pass from Goiginger. Klagenfurt then fought back to avoid another defeat, but the home side held on to their lead. After eight previous unsuccessful encounters, Gerald Scheiblehner's side celebrated another success against Klagenfurt and equaled their tally from last season with their seventh win of the season.
