SK St. Johann II: In view after a 3-1 win over Hochfilzen!

Hochfilzen, Österreich - On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, an exciting comparison game between SK St. Johann II and FC Hochfilzen took place in the 1st class east. In the St. Johann stadium, the spectators experienced a gripping match, which ultimately ended with a 3-1 win for St. Johann. This success means that St. Johann II takes second place in the table, while Hochfilzen is only one point ago and lingered in third place. The Situation is becoming more and more explosive before the last games of the season, since the decision for the promotion zone on June 14, 2025 will be made.

The game initially started with an exclamation mark by St. Johann II, which already made a dangerous warning shot in the 3. minute. In the 9th minute, Philipp Bader used a free kick situation and brought his team 1-0. Just a few minutes later, in the 16th minute, Axel Krimbacher took care of the 2-0 after a pass from Patrick Hager. The players then delivered the preliminary highlight in the 34th minute, when Bader again hit the net precisely from 25 meters and thus already achieved a 3: 0. However, Hochfilzen did not give up and was able to shorten in the 59th minute by Elias Rothmair to 3: 1, but did not prevent the deserved end result for St. Johann II, which remained dangerous again and again despite the pressure of Hochfilzen. Felix Hinterseer and Krimbacher gave some good chances to expand the lead, which indicated the nervousness in the team.

Next challenges for high felting

The FC Hochfilzen, who had to compete in this game without newcomers, still has a lot to do. As reported on the club's platform, they are now preparing for the crucial encounters in which they have to compete against Kirchbichl Juniors. The return to old strength is essential for the team to secure the promotion to the 2nd league.

While the Bundesliga is the highest league in Austrian football, in which 12 professional teams are fighting for the state championship, the 1st class east represents the fourth -low league. Here the best teams of the national leagues are asked to navigate the recent tensions from the rise. With this latest victory, Johann II is now occupying one of the promotion places for the next season.

The countdown to the decision weekend

The last games of the season are just around the corner and on June 14th will decide who will make the leap into the next higher league. St. Johann will compete against the league leader Ebbs II, while Going plays against Jenbach and Hochfilzen faces the challenge of Kirchbichl Juniors. It remains to be seen which surprises the final weekend in the game has.

Overall, it can be said that SK St. Johann II was able to support its ambitions with this strong idea and the fans can get in the mood for an exciting final. Hochfilzen, on the other hand, has to realign and take advantage of the remaining opportunities so as not to lose sight of the season goal.
