Open exchange of blows

The game began with an early phase of pressure from the UFC. In the 5th minute, Adam Fekete was fouled in the visitors’ penalty area, which is why the referee pointed to the spot. Steven Mahringer took the penalty, but the visitors’ goalie David Gumpinger saved the penalty. In the 9th minute, Mahringer missed another great chance when a visitors’ defender saved on the line after Mahringer had already outplayed the goalkeeper.

Despite these missed opportunities, St. Agatha was clearly the dominant team in the first 15 minutes. But surprisingly, it was Union who took the lead in the 17th minute through Emanuil Metodiev. Metodiev took advantage of a rebound in the penalty area and scored the 0-1, even though the goal was scored from a suspected offside position.

The hosts didn’t have to wait long for the answer. In the 20th minute, Joachim Rotter equalized with a header after a precise corner from Adam Fekete. The powerful header landed in the top corner and left the visitors’ goalkeeper no chance. The party was even again and both teams were trading blows openly.

Decision in minute 85

The second half began with numerous chances for UFC St. Agatha. In the 51st and 53rd minutes, Mahringer and Fabian Scheuringer both narrowly missed the visitors’ goal. Tobias Schauer was also unlucky in the 64th minute when his shot only hit the post. Despite these opportunities, St. Agatha initially failed to score the opening goal.

However, St. Willibald came back into the game a little better in the 68th minute, but was unable to create any compelling chances. The UFC defense was solid and left the visitors little room for dangerous moves. In the 77th minute, the visitors’ goalkeeper showed a strong performance when he made several saves in a row and kept his team in the game.

The decisive scene of the game occurred in the 85th minute, when Jakob Haider powered his way through the visitors’ defense and confidently scored to make it 2-1. The opening goal was well deserved and reflected the superiority of UFC St. Agatha in the second half. Despite further efforts from the visitors, who had given them a great chance, Union was unable to equalize.

The final minutes of the party remained exciting. Julian Hofer broke through in the 90th minute, but his shot narrowly missed the goal. Shortly afterwards, Jakob Haider tried again with a shot from distance, but the Union goalkeeper again showed his class and saved the ball. Finally, after three minutes of stoppage time, the game ended with a 2-1 victory for UFC St. Agatha. Jakob Haider was named player of the match, not only scoring the decisive goal, but also shining as the linchpin in the presenters’ game.
