“Angelo Gattermayer broke the deadlock for Hartberg, capitalising on sustained early pressure that had included a blocked Diawara shot moments earlier. The away side took the lead against the territorial run of play.”
Pivotal“Ousmane Diawara levelled for Altach, assisted by Niklas Niehoff, as the hosts' second-half pressure — sparked by the half-time introduction of Marko Raguz — finally paid dividends. The equaliser came after a flurry of home attempts including headed efforts from Milojevic and Greil.”
Pivotal“Benjamin Markus struck in the final minute of normal time to complete Hartberg's comeback victory, punishing an Altach side that had controlled long periods of the match but ultimately lacked the cutting edge to protect their equaliser. The goal sparked a furious reaction and three yellow cards in the closing stages.”

Outstanding performance
Hartberg•MidfielderHartberg arrived at Rheindorf Altach as the more stretched side on paper, yet left with all three points thanks to ruthless efficiency against the run of play. Angelo Gattermayer's early strike gave the visitors a 16th-minute lead that reflected Hartberg's confidence on the break, but Altach — who dominated possession at 59% and racked up 90 dangerous attacks to Hartberg's 36 — hit back through Ousmane Diawara eight minutes into the second half, the Altach forward capitalising on sustained home pressure following the break. The equaliser came against the tide of what the statistics suggested Altach deserved, yet just as the hosts looked to press for a winner, Benjamin Markus silenced the home crowd in stoppage time to hand Hartberg a victory built on defensive discipline and clinical finishing from limited opportunities. Hartberg's 19 tackles to Altach's 14 underline how hard they worked without the ball, and their ability to convert big chances — wasting just one of their two — proved the difference in a match where Altach created plenty but could not find the killer touch when it mattered most.
