Hartberg, 24 October 2026
Hartberg defeated FC Wolfsberg 1:0 at the Profertil Arena on Saturday in the tenth round of the Admiral Bundesliga.
The winning goal came in the 85th minute. Schopp Hartberg put the result 1:0 after an evenly matched contest that remained 0:0 until the break and for long stretches of the game. Wolfsberg thus suffered their sixth consecutive defeat.
The home side lined up with a young team. Seven players were between 19 and 22 years old. This team controlled the ball for longer periods and therefore enjoyed a large share of control of the game.
