SK Austria Klagenfurt failed to make amends after the 0:7 debacle against Sturm Graz! The Carinthians lost 0:3 (0:1) at home to WSG Tirol in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Thanks to an early goal from defender David Jaunegg (7th) and later goals from Valentino Müller from a hand-held penalty (87th) and Tobias Anselm (94th), the Tyroleans knocked Austria out of 9th place.

Before the match, Austria announced that they had agreed a contract extension with coach Peter Pacult with a handshake. Former team player Martin Hinteregger, who will join Austria in January, was also presented to the fans. After that, there was no more reason for the Klagenfurt team to celebrate.

Early lead for Tirol
WSG got off to a perfect start to the game. Cem Üstündag extended a corner to Jaunegg, from whose thigh the ball bounced into the goal (7'). The Tyroleans then left the field to Klagenfurt, but defended consistently and allowed little before the break. Several long-range shots and a chance from David Toshevski (13') hardly caused any problems for goalkeeper Adam Stejskal. At the other end, Lukas Hinterseer missed promising crosses twice in his first starting eleven appearance since the end of September (19, 35).

Even after the break, the Violets rarely managed to get into the penalty area dangerously. However, Austria were unlucky in the 72nd minute: After a WSG chance from Stefan Skrbo, Laurenz Dehl got his shot away after a quick counter-attack, but only hit the bar.

Müller converts penalty safely
The visitors used their space for some promising counter-attacks, which initially yielded nothing. After Skrbo, Tobias Anselm also failed to score from a good position (75') and Skrbo also hit the bar (84'). However, things worked out in the final stages: After goalkeeper Simon Spari was too late against Anselm, Müller converted the penalty safely (87') and Anselm scored the final goal (94').
