In neighboring Austria, local rivals Sturm and GAK played derby number 200 on Saturday. The spectators witnessed a total of 7 goals and a convincing victory for the home team. The club from the Champions League defeated the newcomer in the elite Austrian Bundesliga with a score of 5:2! This heavy defeat could be the last act of Gernot Messner as GAK’s coach, with one of the candidates to take over possibly being Ante Šimundža. That is, if GAK decides to dismiss the coach…
Tomi Horvat played for Sturm from the 69th minute but did not record any statistics. Jon Gorenc Stanković is injured. Tio Cipot started the match on the bench for the guests, with Messner sending him into the game at the start of the second half. The former prospect of Mura, who moved to Graz this summer as a loaned player from Spezia, provided an assist for GAK’s second goal in the 55th minute, which brought the guests back into the game. At that point, the score was 3:2 in favor of Sturm, who then added two more goals to justify their role as favorites.
Tio Cipot received a rating of 7.4 on SofaScore, making him the highest-rated player for GAK. The team, however, is at the bottom of the first Austrian league table, having not won a single match in ten games and only accumulating four points. Meanwhile, Sturm leads with a four-point advantage over Rapid Vienna, who have a game in hand.
