Bundesliga
LIVE from 5pm: LASK face WSG Tirol
LASK scored an important last-minute goal in the battle for the championship group of the Bundesliga. Coach Markus Schopp's team defeated WSG Tirol 2:1 (1:1) in front of 10,900 fans in their last home game of the basic round on Sunday thanks to a goal from Robert Zulj in the 94th minute. The Athletiker thus defended their place in the top six and must now travel to champions Sturm Graz for the showdown next Sunday.
Johannes Naschberger had put the visitors ahead (24'), Ivan Ljubic equalized shortly before the break (42'), Zulj turned the game around late on. The Tyroleans, who conceded another goal in stoppage time, remain tenth with 19 points. Wattener will play at home against Vienna Austria at the end of the basic round.
Schopp put the attacking Krystof Danek, on loan from Sparta Prague, into the starting eleven for the first time. Meanwhile, defender Jonas David was out injured for Philipp Semlic's WSG. Danek was played in by his compatriot Adam Stejskal after a solo run early in the game, but the Tyrolean keeper saved his shot with his knee (4th). At the other end, Valentino Müller headed an extended throw-in against the crossbar (5'). Naschberger did better, calmly slotting home after Taferner's assist. LASK had previously failed to clear the ball in their own half.
Joker Zulj turned the game around
The hosts immediately pressed for an equalizer, Danek and Maximilian Entrup failed to beat Stejskal, Samuel Adeniran failed to beat WSG defender Jamie Lawrence (32'). Ten minutes later, Ljubic put a second ball into the net from distance following a corner. An alleged foul by Adeniran on David Jaunegg in the scene was deemed not worthy of punishment by referee Arnes Talic after viewing the video images.
The game flattened out a little after the break. Quincy Butler missed a good opportunity for the visitors (55'), while Entrup (63'), substitute Zulj (67') and Adeniran (77') were too imprecise for LASK. The latter failed to score shortly afterwards against Stejskal (81'). Thanks to Zulj, there were no consequences. The Upper Austrians remained unbeaten in 2025.
