The season has also started in neighboring Austria, where an eventful year awaits Tomi Horvat and Jon Gorenc Stanković, who will defend the double crown with Sturm and compete in the Champions League. The Graz team took a step closer to defending their cup title today, though with some difficulties, by eliminating lower league side SC Krems.
The Austrian champions took the lead after six minutes of play, when the returning Manprit Sarkaria scored. However, in the 13th minute, the home striker Hakan Gokcek equalized, and half an hour into the game, he scored again from the penalty spot. Before that, Horvat had restored Sturm’s lead.
There were no goals in the second half, so extra time followed, during which the experience and individual quality of Christian Ilzer‘s men prevailed. First, in the 113th minute, the visiting captain Gorenc Stanković scored to give Sturm the lead for the third time in the match, and just before the end, Mika Biereth dispelled all doubts about the winner. Tomi Horvat contributed an assist along with his goal.
