In Austria, midweek cup matches were played, and on Wednesday, two Slovenians caught the eye. In Ried, before 5832 spectators, Tomi Horvat shone brightly and was an enigma for the home team from the second division. Sturm, the defending league and cup champion, won the match 3:1, and Tomi Horvat was involved in all three goals.
In the 23rd minute, he scored to give the black-and-white team from Graz the lead, and then he assisted with two goals for his teammate Seedy Jatta. Horvat, who has played 6 matches and scored 3 goals this season, was on the field until the 85th minute. His compatriot and national teammate Jon Gorenc Stanković, as captain of Sturm, remained on the pitch from the first to the last minute. Young Arjan Malić, who celebrated his 19th birthday on Wednesday, was not in Sturm’s squad.
Austria Vienna faced third-division team ASKÖ Oedt and struggled to secure a win before 1200 spectators. The legendary club from the Austrian capital won 3:2, with Nik Prelec scoring the first goal for the violets in the 9th minute. For the Slovenian forward, who is on loan to Vienna from Cagliari, this was his third goal in eight appearances for Austria, and he also recorded two assists.
