SCR Altach squandered a potential away win against Austria Klagenfurt late on and will retain the "red lantern" in the Bundesliga after the end of the basic round.

"Joker" Philipp Wydra scored for the Carinthians in the 95th minute of the final round on Sunday before the points were shared in a 2:2 (1:2) draw. This means that Altach, like GAK, have eight points in the relegation battle at the start of the qualifying group, while Klagenfurt have ten points.

Altach celebrated the "double strike".

Altach still without a win against Klagenfurt
As a result, coach Fabio Ingolitsch's Altach, who are behind Graz due to the direct duel, failed to emerge victorious for the first time in their eighth Bundesliga clash against Peter Pacult's Klagenfurt side. Substitute Lukas Jäger was shown a yellow card for the Vorarlberg side in the 101st minute.

Altach turn the game around in three minutes 
Klagenfurt took the lead in front of 2,429 spectators with a dream goal from David Toshevski, the North Macedonian volleying a deflected cross into the near corner in the fifth minute. Altach, who had Sandro Ingolitsch suspended and were missing strikers Ousmane Diawara and Suliman Mustapha through injury, responded promptly. First, Dijon Kameri pushed Lukas Fridrikas' pass over the line, and three minutes later Fridrikas forced an own goal from Jannik Robatsch after another pass from the left. The goal had originally not counted due to an alleged offside position and was awarded after VAR intervention.

Match interrupted due to VAR problems
Altach's Leonardo Lukacevic hit the crossbar with a long-range shot shortly before the break. The game had to be interrupted for around five minutes after the break because the VAR was not receiving images from Carinthia. In the 67th minute, Altach goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic deflected a long-range shot from Christopher Wernitznig onto the crossbar, and the goalkeeper also kept out Keanan Bennett's follow-up shot. Pacult's team pressed for an equalizer, but Wydra rewarded the Violets in stoppage time with a precise shot from the edge of the box.
