The Bergheim ladies advanced to the semi-finals of the Austrian Cup with a 1:0 win over Blau-Weiß Linz/Kleinmünchen. The semifinals were drawn on Sunday. Coach Dusan Pavlovic's team were drawn to play at home.

Tina Krassnig fired the Bergheim ladies to victory in the Cup quarter-finals. Her goal shortly before the end of the first half was enough for a 1:0 victory over Blau-Weiß Linz/Kleinmünchen. On Sunday, Bergheim were drawn to play their opponents in the semi-finals. Coach Dusan Pavlovic's team will face Austria Vienna in the final. The Violets are currently second in the Bundesliga table behind St. Pölten and therefore a really tough opponent. The Viennese also have the best defense in the league, conceding just four goals in 13 games. The Violets beat Neulengbach 2:0 in the cup quarter-finals and reached the cup final last year.

But the Salzburg team can take heart from this: The draw by Isabel Hochstöger gave them a home game. The game will be played on the weekend of March 29/30. The exact match date will be fixed in the coming weeks. The second semi-final is St. Pölten against First Vienna FC 1894.
