Imst squanders equalizer! Hartberg advances with a scare

TSV Hartberg advances to the second round of the UNIQA ÖFB-Cup with a 3-1 victory against SC Imst.

The East Styrians get off to a good start: After 13 minutes, Markus puts the ball into the net from the edge of the box, and nine minutes later, Hoffmann converts a penalty to make it 2-0 (22').

But Imst pulls one back: Demir scores a fantastic goal into the top corner just before halftime (43'), ensuring that only one goal separates the regional league team and the Bundesliga club at halftime.

In the 55th minute, there's a big chance for the equalizer after a foul by Markus in the penalty area, but goalkeeper Maric guesses the right corner against Kofler.

In the closing stages, the Hartberg players also fail from the spot: After a handball, Steinlechner saves for Imst (90'). However, it no longer changes the outcome, as Drew adds another goal shortly after (90'+1).

SV Wallern also prevails 3-2 against SC Schwaz, thanks to a Wild brace.
