WSG Tirol secures a 2-2 draw against TSV Hartberg in the closing stages at Tivoli.

The East Styrian side had reason to celebrate thanks to an efficient first-half performance. Oliver Lukic scored with TSV's first chance, converting a direct free-kick with a bouncing shot to give them a 1-0 lead (14').

WSG, however, diligently responded to going behind and increasingly pushed for the equalizer. But Hartberg exploited another free-kick at the other end.

Hartberg extends their lead shortly before half-time

Marco Hoffmann appeared about six meters out after a Kainz free-kick and doubled Hartberg's lead to 2-0 at half-time (44').

After the restart, WSG also played offensively and was eventually rewarded with a goal back. Initially, TSV goalkeeper Armin Pecsi scraped the ball off the line after Komposch unluckily deflected it (68'). However, Lukas Hinterseer then headed in a corner shortly after for the home side to make it 1-2 (72').

Murat Satin converted the spot-kick, thereby securing the late 2-2 equalizer (90+5').
