Maria Enzersdorf / St. Pölten (APA) – The TSV Hartberg is still the Austrian football hour team. With the 3-2 of Saturday at Admira, the climber has already won his fifth consecutive victory in competition. As a reward, there had been at least one preliminary test in fifth place. Coach Markus Schopp was always eager not to raise excessive expectations.

The former player of the team qualified the current ranking as "good situation". But it's only a snapshot. "The fact that the win was won despite a 1: 2 balance and a numerical inferiority," said Schopp as proof of his team's morale.

Another advantage of Hartberger in Südstadt was added to a bit of luck and the bite of the "Joker". Two substitutes – Christian Ilic and Zakaria Sanogo – appeared as scorers. In addition, the first goal on the account of Thomas Rotter, who had slipped only because of Michael Huber's injury in the starting formation. "This shows that the entire team is 100 percent involved and I am also delighted that they have restored confidence," said Schopp.

He showed some of his kickers after the final self-critical whistle, for which Schopp also had some understanding. "It was one of our weakest games," admitted the Styrian. "But that was also due to Admira, who found very good solutions against us."

For Reiner Geyer, this eulogy was only a very minor consolation. The new Südstädter coach cried a positive result in his debut. "But we played well, there will also be games where we will be happier on the finish," predicted Ernst Baumeister's successor.

The German was surprised by some changes. He sits on a triple chain with captain Daniel Toth in the defense center. The title midfielder played the unknown role of a pbadable performance, but with a 2: 3 blunder, not beating the ball out of danger. "I should have solved this situation differently," admitted the 31-year-old.

However, the Lower Austrians could have already decided the game in their favor. "We need to take more advantage of our chances, in such a situation we simply can not put the lid on it," Toth criticized, but also expressed optimism: "We have to look forward. just. "

Nevertheless, Admira is still at the bottom of the table, while the Hartberger can flirt with participation in the champions group. This also applies to LASK and SKN St. Pölten, who are second and third after a 2-2 draw in a live match. LASK coach Oliver Glasner was much less satisfied with the result in the NV Arena than his opponent Ranko Popovic. "We have not been able to decide the game for the second or third time." It was a pointless point loss, said Upper Austria after the fifth league match in a row, without big success.

Popovic, however, was happy in the third game of his reign on first point and first goals. "I am happy when the team progresses.It is the case, that is why I am satisfied," said the former defender of Sturm-Graz.
