Mannswert secured a 2:0 victory over Gerasdorfer-Straßergsdorf in a club friendly on Thursday evening. The result ends a run of draws for the visitors, who had gone through their last two matches without a win. And here's the thing — this was not a fixture that demanded much from either side, but the clean sheet tells you something about how the visitors approached it.
Gerdasдорfer-Straßergsdorf have not tasted victory in their last five friendlies, picking up just two points from ten available. They dropped three against Rec, lost narrowly to 523 Mistelbach, and were beaten 2:0 by Donau in the most recent outing. To be fair, the quality of opposition has varied, but the pattern of results is clear enough.
Mannswert's recent form offers a different picture. They drew 2:2 with Favoritner and 2:2 with Wiener Viktoria before a heavy defeat to Wiener Viktoria in January. Since then there has been nothing — no results recorded since February 2025, at least not in the data supplied. By then they were still finding their feet after that 0:4 loss.
A friendly match does not sit in the table. But you can watch how a team carries itself when there is nothing riding on the result. Mannswert kept their shape, moved the ball with purpose, and did not let the visitors settle. The scoreline reflects that — two goals, no response. Sometimes a clean sheet is worth more than the goals themselves.
