Violets Fall Behind After Blunder

The longer the first half went on, the better the visitors from Linz settled into the match.

Despite the run of play, the score became 1-0: After a serious blunder by Baotic at the edge of his own penalty area, Pasic was initially denied by Blazevic, but Ronivaldo slotted the rebound into the corner (29th minute).

Vucic Rewards Blau-Weiß

Michael Köllner's team was in control from then on, but the 2-0 took a long time to come. In the 71st minute, a long throw-in from Pasic was flicked on, and Vucic finished clinically inside the penalty area (71st minute).

In the final phase, the Violets pushed for a consolation goal, with substitute Brandt missing the best chance in the 81st minute. His close-range effort was too central, and Oelz was able to save.

Vucic sealed the final decision with his second goal (89th minute).
