Bundesliga
Blau-Weiß Linz against Hartberg LIVE from 5pm
TSV Hartberg are still on the road to success in the Bundesliga under new coach Manfred Schmid. The team from Eastern Styria narrowly, but deservedly, beat Blau-Weiß Linz 2:1 (1:0) in the final game of the first half of the basic round on Saturday to climb into the top half of the table.
An own goal from Silvan Wallner (6th) and Patrik Mijic (50th) gave Schmid his fourth win in his fifth game in charge of TSV.
Ronivaldo's seventh goal of the season with a header in the 87th minute made for an exciting final phase. Hartberg are now in sixth place with 15 points after ten games. Schmid's side overtook Gerald Scheiblehner's Linz side, who have 14 points after their third defeat in the last four league games and one more game than the Styrians.
The hosts got off to a much better start in Hartberg. It took less than six minutes for Wallner to deflect the ball with his shoulder in an aerial duel with Hartberg central defender Fabian Wilfinger and sink it into the far corner of the net. Linz got into the game a little better, but initially had to rethink their attack without Ronivaldo, who had a hip injury and was on the bench.
Blau-Weiß became dangerous after a corner kick, a powerful header from Alem Pasic had to be deflected over the crossbar by TSV goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger (22'). A shot (26') and a header (31') from Anderson did not trouble Sallinger. After the break, Hartberg had a great chance to make it 2-0 after just 35 seconds, but Mijic was unable to get on the end of an Avdijaj cross.
Shortly afterwards, the Croatian did better: Mijic made contact with a Stangl pass from Manuel Pfeifer and deflected it over the line in a duel with Wallner for his fifth goal of the season. At the other end, Kristijan Dobras failed to beat Sallinger with a shot (53'). Scheiblehner wanted to set new accents with the substitution of goalscorer Ronivaldo. However, there were no big chances for a long time and Hartberg did not concede much. Donis Avdijaj reacted somewhat emotionally after his substitution in the 76th minute, with the attacking player angrily making his way straight to the dressing room. Ronivaldo's goal out of nothing came too late.
