WSG Tirol advances to Cup next round with 6:0 rout in Wieselburg

After the restart, Jaden Bambara made it 5:0, before the substitute Lukas Hinterseer completed the rout with the 6:0 final score. The young new signings Samuel Chukwudi, Lukas Malicsek, and Tobias Lund Jensen, who were also brought on, hinted at their offensive qualities and provided fresh impetus.

At hosts SC Wieselburg, who are based in the Lower Austrian regional league, everything came together on this evening that typically comes together against a Bundesliga side. The team coached by Christian Wedl put up a spirited fight but was ultimately powerless against the class gap. The ground by the Erlauf became the stage for the Tyrolean attacking department.

A perfect start for WSG

WSG Tirol made a statement with the clear victory on the Cup's opening night. After reaching the semifinals last season, the goal of Silberberger's side is to once again go far in the ÖFB Cup. Against a lower-division opponent, they did so in impressive fashion.

Cup outlook and next round

In parallel, SV Ried also managed a clear opening victory. Away at FC Dornbirn, a third-division side from Vorarlberg, the Innviertler likewise prevailed clearly. There, among others, Samuel Chukwudi – who at WSG was only substituted one tier lower in the same match – also found the net.

The draw for the next round of the Cup will take place in the coming weeks. WSG Tirol will then look into the pot as a seeded Bundesliga representative and face another opponent from the lower leagues or another Bundesliga side. With the confidence from the rout at their backs, the team around captain Lukas Hinterseer heads into the next tasks.
