2nd league - last round
GAK ends championship season with 4:2 against KSV!
GAK bid farewell to the 2nd division in style! The Grazer Athletiker, who were promoted to the Bundesliga three weeks ago, won 4:2 (2:1) at home against Kapfenberger SV in the last round on Saturday. Over 7000 fans in Liebenau cheered the presentation of the championship trophy and then went to the championship party on Freiheitsplatz.
The Grazer Roten returned to the top flight 17 years after relegation and left nothing to be desired at the end. Thorsten Schriebl (37') and Marco Gantschnig (42') gave GAK a 2-0 lead, Niklas Szerencsi reduced the deficit shortly before the break (45').
Maderner behind Tadic and Alar in the goalscoring charts with 15 goals
After Daniel Maderner made it 3:1 (46') and David Heindl scored again (56'), a varied game developed in which the home side pushed Maderner in particular. However, the striker, who was voted best player of the season, did not score again and ended up behind Dario Tadic (St. Pölten) and Deni Alar (DSV Leoben), who scored 16 goals each, with 15 goals.
DSV Leoben and FC Dornbirn also had to bid farewell to the league, albeit downwards. The two clubs did not receive a license and have to move down to the Regionalliga. As no club from the Regionalliga West meets the promotion criteria, there are no other relegated clubs.
Leoben defeated Sturm Graz II 2:1 (1:0) to finish the season in fourth place, while Dornbirn lost 1:0 (0:0) at SV Ried and would also have been relegated in sporting terms in 14th place.
Ziegl retires after 16 seasons with the Innviertel club
The game was also marked by a farewell for the team in second place in the table. After 16 seasons with the Innviertel side, Marcel Ziegl called it a day and the Rieder captain was replaced after four minutes in keeping with his number 4 shirt number.
As FAC Vienna only managed a 2:2 (1:2) draw against SV Stripfing, Vienna took third place with a 4:1 (3:1) win over bottom-of-the-table Amstetten.
