Further attempts by Nico Schiedermeier and Milos Savic were also unsuccessful. It took up to the 44th minute until Matthias Theiner and Savic came closer to the opposing goal.

The crucial moment

The second half brought more momentum for the hosts. Schwaighofer and Savic had other opportunities, but repeatedly failed due to the strong Wackerle in the goal of Schwaz.

This goal brought victory and was the crucial moment in an intensive game that was also shaped by the strong defense of the guests.
