SK Sturm, after some effort, but ultimately in a commanding fashion, reached the UNIQA ÖFB Cup round of 16.

The "Blackies" won a Styrian derby at ASK Voitsberg 4-1 (Match report>>>). Perhaps even more importantly: Otar Kiteishvili was finally able to make his comeback after a persistent calf injury and immediately crowned it with a goal.

"I'm grateful to be able to play again, to be able to run again, just to be fit again. The playing time was important, the goal too. It's good to be back," beamed the Georgian in the "ORF" interview.

Ingolitsch: "Many hearts were torn"

His coach, Fabio Ingolitsch, saw in Voitsberg "the expected tough match with a real cup atmosphere, especially because it was a local derby."

"The game was really cool for the region, many hearts were torn. There are many here who are sad that Voitsberg is out, but are still very happy that Sturm's chance to reach the Cup final is alive," said the Graz coach.
