Last‑Minute‑Sieg powers BW linz’s unbeaten run after stoppage‑Time win

Blau‑Weiß Linz (BW Linz) celebrated a Last‑Minute‑Sieg on Friday evening (Freitagabend) as a 95th‑minute strike secured a 1‑0 victory over St. Pölten, keeping the recently relegated Bundesliga side (Der Bundesliga‑Absteiger) unbeaten after three rounds (Runden) of the Football‑Liga.

The win came thanks to a stoppage‑time (Nachspielzeit) goal, marking the club’s third clean‑sheet win (Zu‑null‑Sieg) and moving them to the top of the table (Tabelle) with a valuable point gain (Punktgewinn).

Last‑minute winner secures three points

The decisive strike arrived in the 95th minute from the 22‑year‑old forward, who capitalised after two saved attempts. Earlier chances saw Erik Weinhauer hit the post (Treffers) in the 30th minute and Nico Grimbs miss a solo effort in the 74th. Blau‑Weiß also endured an early injury, with striker Ronivaldo forced off in the 26th minute after a hand problem.

St. Pölten still searching for a point

The Lower Austrian side (Niederösterreicher) remain without their first point (Punkt) and first goal (Tor) of the season, suffering a third 0‑1 defeat. Managed by Cem Sekerlioglu, the St. Pölten team (Mannschaft) has yet to register a goal, extending their winless run.

Other second‑division action

In other Football‑Liga fixtures, Rapid Wien II celebrated a second‑season win by beating Hertha Wels 2‑1, while SKN St. Pölten (SK) fell 0‑1 to Blau‑Weiß Linz. The weekend also featured matches such as FAC Wien versus SKU Amstetten and Young Violets Austria Wien against Austria Salzburg.

Upcoming fixtures include Vienna versus FC Liefering on Sunday at 10:30, and several Saturday clashes at 17:30, highlighting a busy schedule for the league.

With the victory, BW Linz (Blau‑Weiß) continues its Siegeslauf, aiming to preserve the unbeaten streak and maintain pressure on rivals as the season progresses. Photo credit goes to Julien Christ (Christ).
