Sensation perfect
Blau Weiß Linz vs TSV Hartberg – LIVE from 5pm
FC Blau-Weiß Linz have made it into the Champions Group of the Bundesliga for the first time in the club's history. The Upper Austrians, who were promoted to the top flight in 2023, celebrated a 4:1 home win over TSV Hartberg in the final round of the basic round on Sunday.
Hartberg created the first chance of the game. Donis Avdijaj had a free shot from the penalty spot, but failed to beat Linz goalkeeper Radek Vitek. Blau-Weiß made their first appearance in front of goal in the 15th minute when Paul Mensah's shot was saved by Hartberg shot-stopper Raphael Sallinger. From the ensuing corner, the ball landed at the feet of Bakatukanda, who shot in from the five.
Ronivaldo missed a chance to decide the game early on
This was followed by a phase in which Ronivaldo could have decided the game for the blue and whites early on. After preparatory work from Thomas Goiginger, the striker missed the short corner alone in front of Sallinger, then Sallinger remained victorious against Ronivaldo and finally a header from the Brazilian-born striker just missed the target. Hartberg equalized practically out of nowhere. Vitek misjudged a cross from Manuel Pfeifer, Furkan Demir headed on for Mijic and the striker, who had just replaced the injured Elias Havel, finished. The Blue & Whites wobbled in the following minutes, Muharem Huskovic failed to hit the ball alone in front of Vitek and a failed header return from Simon Pirkl rolled onto the bar.
Blue and white in command in the second half
Linz's fluttering nerves came to an end at the start of the second half. The home side came out of the break full of energy and quickly made it 2:1. Goiginger and Ronivaldo passed the ball to Pasic, who took the measure from the sixteen and gave Sallinger no chance. This time the Linzers remained stable after taking the lead - Bakatukanda missed the chance to make it 3:1, Ronivaldo then did better in proven goal-scoring style from close range, wiping away the last doubts. Dobras, who had replaced Ronivaldo, provided the final goal with a magnificent volley from the edge of the box. With the exception of an Avdijaj attempt that was blocked by Vitek, Hartberg had nothing more to offer in offense.
