Regional League West – Defence chief as Purkersdorfer match winner at the premiere

Although the community of Purkersdorf was badly affected by the floods, the footballers were spared. Training at FC Purkersdorf was only interrupted for a short time. The first sessions took place on Wednesday and Thursday. On Sunday, the trip went to Blindenmarkt.

The Wienerwälder played confidently against the still winless home team for long stretches. Mehmet Aydogan, who had lost his place in the starting eleven during the summer preparations, returned to the starting eleven and skilfully converted a long pass from Danijel Romic to take an early lead (5th minute). Romisch was the man of the match, the center back was involved in all three goals. After a free kick from the side, he also provided the assist for Lucian Eder (20th minute). In the 57th minute, he scored himself after a corner (57th minute).

Blindenmarkt had a good phase before the break, had a shot that hit the crossbar and then scored in the 55th minute. “But we were in control of the situation,” said FCP coach Jürgen Novara, who was satisfied with his team’s performance. The guests also hit the post twice and missed a few sitters in the finish. The absence of captain Thomas Prager and Dominik Reiß due to illness was well compensated for.

On Friday, Purkersdorf will play at home on Speichberg (8 p.m.) against newly promoted Gottsdorf.
