Liefering go down 0:4 at Admira. The last time they suffered such a heavy defeat was around two years ago. The young bulls had to acknowledge the brutal coolness of the Südstädter.

Used Saturday for the young bulls! In the second league match at league leaders Admira, they saw no land and ultimately left the pitch with a 0:4 defeat. The last time Liefering lost so badly was on October 29, 2022. Opponent: Blau-Weiß Linz. Back then, Matthias Seidl (now Rapid captain) scored a treble. In Südstadt, it was Deni Alar who scored three times to celebrate. What was particularly remarkable, however, was that three of the four goals came from set pieces. "If you only allow one shot on goal from play and still concede four goals, that's brutal," said Liefering coach Daniel Beichler, who didn't want to sugarcoat the performance: "I'm not satisfied at all, especially when it comes to the tackling in the first 30 minutes. If it takes a 3:0 to wake up, you can't be happy."

Liefering made an effort offensively, but were not efficient. The two or three good chances were carelessly missed. The match only relaxed after the 0:4, probably also because the league leaders shifted down several gears. However, the focus is now already on the Youth League game in Leverkusen on Tuesday. The young bulls can secure promotion to the round of 16.

Sunday's match between Austria Lustenau and Stripfing had to be called off due to the pitch conditions. A new date has not yet been set.
