Footballers of Sturm continue their drive towards a historic championship title in the Austrian Bundesliga, as they have held the primacy since the distant 2013/14 season at RB Salzburg, whose reign, as it currently appears, is coming to an end this season, but the final answer will still require some waiting.
Today’s showdown, which will play a significant role in the final outcome, started dreamily for the Styrians, as they took the lead as early as the second minute when Alexander Prass found the net. The Austrian midfielder ignited another wave of excitement for the visitors in the 34th minute when he increased the advantage after Jusuf Gazibegović‘s assist.
The Red Bulls managed to reduce the lead after significant pressure in the 72nd minute when substitute Nene Dorgeles, following Luka Sučić‘s delivery, scored an easy goal, somewhat reviving their hopes. These hopes fully came to life ten minutes later when Karim Konate found himself alone in front of Vitezslav Jaroš and equalized. Tomi Horvat and Jon Gorenc Stanković played the entire match.
The current leading team in the Austrian Bundesliga awaits the cup final before the three concluding rounds, where they will face Rapid Vienna on Wednesday.
