Negative Streak of Wiener Austria Continues Against LASK
Linz won at home against Wiener Austria with 2:1, despite being behind. Joao Sacramento celebrated his first victory as a coach. The Viennese led early through an own goal by Keba Cisse, but after three rounds, they have only one point. LASK took their chances better: Samuel Adeniran and Moses Usor (via penalty) scored the goals.
Cisse Own Goal Puts Wiener Austria in the Lead
Austria appeared at the Gugl with only one change, the Korean left winger Lee Tae-seok made his starting debut instead of Hakim Guenouche. LASK tried this time with two strikers, alongside Samuel Adeniran, Maximilian Entrup worked from the start for the first time this season. In midfield, Valon Berisha was new, Christoph Lang and Lukas Kacavenda made way. In central defense, Cisse replaced Melayro Bogarde.
Promptly, the new defender played a prominent role in a dynamic opening phase. After a well-timed pass from Dominik Fitz, Cisse did reach the ball before the lurking Maurice Malone, but he steered it into his own net. Nevertheless, Sacramento could find pleasure in his team's play. Strong in duels and straightforward, they increasingly took control and repeatedly sought the attacking peaks.
This was also the case with the supposed equalizer in the 22nd minute, when Entrup, after an Adeniran assist, was offside. Twelve minutes and a double save by Samuel Sahin-Radlinger against Andrade and Entrup (25.) later, the ball then hit the Austria goal in accordance with the rules. After Usor's advance on the right side, Adeniran found himself ideally free and headed completely unchallenged into the far corner.
Penalty Brought Decision for LASK
Austria, which had shown little offensively after the 1:0, opened the second half with a chance from Abubakr Barry (missed/47.) and thus initiated a turbulent phase. Sahin-Radlinger scraped Adeniran's header off the line with the help of the crossbar (49.), his LASK counterpart Lukas Jungwirth reacted brilliantly twice against Fitz and Malone (51., 52.). Finally, at the hour mark, Cisse was successful on the ball just ahead of Malone in the six-yard box (62.).
The action remained refreshing. Sahin-Radlinger was on hand from close range against Entrup (64.), but shortly after, Alexander Harkam pointed to the penalty spot after a VAR review. Reinhold Ranftl had caught the onrushing Berisha on the foot after his failed shot - Usor punished this action with the 2:1.
Austria did not remain in shock, pushing particularly in the finish for the equalizer. Fitz did not have his sights set well enough from 16 meters (81.), then it was again Jungwirth who secured the victory against Dejan Radonjic (83.). In injury time, Andres Andrade deflected a dangerously close Fitz shot. In the 98th minute, Austria even celebrated the equalizer after Tin Plavotic's goal, but it did not count due to offside.
