Sturm Graz may not have started the new season of the Austrian Bundesliga as expected, with the current champions losing to Rapid Vienna in Vienna. However, they have since secured two victories without conceding a goal, with a significant contribution from the club captain and Slovenian international Jon Gorenc Stanković.
Last weekend, the Styrians visited Klagenfurt, which is practically their second home as they will play their Champions League home matches at the Wörthersee stadium, home to Austria Klagenfurt, this season.
The black-and-whites secured their national title against the Carinthians on the final matchday of the previous season, but this time things could have ended quite differently. The hosts were awarded a penalty in the 67th minute, which was saved by Kjell Scherpen, and then the team managed to threaten the opposition. Fifteen minutes before the end of regular time, Otar Kiteishvili converted a penalty, and just before the final whistle, Mika Bierith added another goal.
