What an evening! What a miracle, many would say, if you had told them before the current season that the players of Sturm from Graz would be the leading team in the Austrian championship four rounds before the end. They achieved this after a victory in the Austrian capital against Rapid, but even before that, RB Salzburg surprisingly stumbled in Klagenfurt and finally, after a few slips, relinquished the title of leader in our northern neighbors’ hands.
The net of the home team was shaken as early as the 8th minute by none other than Tomi Horvat, after a rejected pass from David Schnegg, brilliantly sent behind Niklas Hedl.

Rapid’s response came fairly quickly, as just over ten minutes later, Fally Mayulu ensured the equalizer. The level score on the scoreboard lasted only ten minutes, as the guests, with a goal from Jusuf Gazibegović, once again took the lead. The Styrians dispelled doubts about the winner just before the end of the first half, when Horvat found Otar Kiteishvili on the edge of the penalty area, who with a phenomenal shot secured a victory that placed Sturm where they had only dreamed of in previous years. Jon Gorenc Stanković played the entire match, while Tomi Horvat finished his game in the 71st minute.

The title race could either further unfold or become more complicated on Sunday, as we will be in Solnograško, where the Styrians will be chasing history, while the Red Bulls will be fighting for survival, witnessing the last mutual encounter between Salzburg and Sturm this season.
