“Anilson Santiago picks up an early yellow card for a foul, setting a physical tone that would see Lustenau commit 14 fouls across the match.”
“Antonio Verinac opens the scoring for Lustenau, finishing off a move assisted by Seydou Diarra after Diarra's earlier shot had gone close.”
Pivotal“Right on the stroke of half-time, Dominik Weixelbraun doubles Lustenau's lead, turning provider Verinac into a scorer's setup man in a devastating one-two for the home side.”

Outstanding performance
Austria Lustenau•AttackerAustria Lustenau made their first-half dominance count, scoring twice inside nine minutes either side of the 40-minute mark to seal victory before the break. Despite Altach holding more possession (52%) and doubling Lustenau's corner count, they couldn't turn territorial advantage into goals, wasting two big chances while Lustenau punished them clinically with just two shots on target. Antonio Verinac was the architect of both goals, scoring the opener before setting up Dominik Weixelbraun for the second, while Seydou Diarra's assist on the first goal underlined Lustenau's efficiency in the final third. For Altach, sitting in the relegation zone, this is a damaging result against a direct rival, while Lustenau's win offers crucial breathing room in a tightly-fought lower half of the table.
