In the penalty shootout
WAC Goes into Overtime! Wins for Salzburg & Hartberg
Huge relief for WAC in the second round of the ÖFB Cup! It took a penalty shootout to finally secure a narrow victory over Regionalliga side Parndorf! The underdog had initially scored a celebrated 1-1 equalizer against the Bundesliga side in stoppage time, forcing the game into extra time. There, WAC (down a man after Otar Mamageishvili received a yellow-red card) initially took the lead again, but the underdog fought back and tied the game at 2-2. However, they were unable to capitalize in the penalty shootout! Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg defeated St. Pölten 3-0, Hartberg beat Steyr 4-0, and GAK defeated Kitzbühel 2-0.

Title co-favorite Salzburg, Hartberg, and GAK advanced to the ÖFB Cup round of 16 on Sunday. The “Bulls” put in a solid, if unspectacular, performance in their 3–0 (2–0) win in St. Pölten. Hartberg celebrated the biggest win of the day with a 4-0 (4-0) victory at Vorwärts Steyr. GAK prevailed 2-0 (1-0) in Kitzbühel.
Salzburg’s rotated lineup—featuring seven new players in the starting XI compared to the 5-1 win over Rapid—got the job done against St. Pölten, which has had a weak start to the 2nd League season. Danny Röhl’s team did need a bit of luck early on when Leomend Krasniqi hit the crossbar. But almost immediately afterward, Haris Tabakovic was on hand. The center forward scored his ninth goal in his ninth appearance for Salzburg (23rd minute).
SKN put up a fight within their means, but Salzburg’s superior quality was evident in their finishing. A misdirected header by Niklas Szerencsis turned into a through ball for Aboubacar Camara, who shook off his opponent in a footrace and made it 2–0 (33'). The decisive goal also came after a missed SKN chance: Christian Früchtl made a save against Luis Hartwig, while at the other end, Bartosz Mazurek converted a rebound to make it 3–0 (50th minute).
Hartberg Unchallenged
GAK took the lead in Kitzbühel as early as the 3rd minute through Alexander Hofleitner, but then failed to add to their lead. Yannick Oberleitner didn’t score the 2–0 for the Tyrolean third-division side until the 77th minute. Hartberg, on the other hand, was never in danger in Steyr. With back-to-back goals by Tobias Kainz (15th minute) and Angelo Gattermayer (18th minute), the Styrians set the stage for victory. Marco Hoffmann, with his fourth goal of the season across all competitions (30th minute), and Magnus Dalpiaz (41st minute) sealed the deal before halftime.
