Bregenz cannot blame themselves much after the 3-2 defeat at league leaders Admira. The visitors played courageously, created many chances and scored twice. But still ended up without any points.

"That's the difference between us and one of the top teams. They are fully focused for the entire game. We weren't," said SW coach Regi Van Acker after returning home from Südstadt.

After a missed set-piece, ex-Altacher Daniel Nussbaumer scored to make it 1-0 for Admira, who extended their lead to 2-0 after being awarded a penalty. Bregenz's best chances to equalize remained unused. Stefanon, who came on as a substitute, made the game exciting with his two goals, but the leaders managed to hold on for the win. "Admira felt the pressure, they realized that it wasn't over even after taking a 2-0 lead. My team showed a lot of mentality, but without a result. That's why we now have to cross the next line again to be able to score against such clubs," said Van Acker.

More pleasant opponents now await Bregenz, at least in terms of the table. First Amstetten, then Lafnitz and Stripfing. "With Amstetten, I'm happy that we're playing them at home, we had big problems away from home," said the Belgian coach, "but these are opponents that are within our reach. We want to get as many points as possible."
