Austria Klagenfurt secured a 2:0 victory against Wolfsberg in the Regional League South on Friday evening. The result lifted the hosts further clear in second place, while the visitors remain rooted to the bottom half of the table.
It was a clean performance from the home side, who have now extended their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions. By then, the gap between the two sides had widened significantly — sixteen points separate them with six games played.
Wolfsberg's struggles continued unabated. They have now conceded fourteen goals in their last three league outings, a run that includes defeats by 4:0 and 5:0 margins. To be fair, they managed a goalless draw against Donaу Klagenfurt last time out, but that was their only point in five matches.
The hosts showed resilience after a difficult period themselves. They had lost 2:5 to Rapid Vienna and drawn 2:2 with Felden in their two previous fixtures, but the 1:0 victory over Völkermarckt before that suggested a turning point. This result reinforces that shift in momentum.
At the other end of the table, Wolfsberg's situation grows more precarious. Three points from six games leaves them well adrift, and they cannot afford another slip if they hope to climb away from the relegation zone. The hosts, meanwhile, have opened up a comfortable cushion at the top.
