Shwarz-Weiss Bregenz held on for a 3-2 victory over Kapfenberg in the second round of the Austrian second league on Saturday evening. The result moves the hosts into eighth place on seven points, while the visitors remain rooted to sixteenth with just three from five matches.
Henrique Cayres opened the scoring in the nineteenth minute, a moment that set the tone for a game where the home side would control their own destiny. Kapfenberg responded through J. Rostas in the fifty-fourth, and the match swung back and forth before T. de Sousa Oliveira restored Bregenz's lead in the eighty-sixth.
There was still time for the visitors to equalise, and a late goal in stoppage time briefly threatened to derail the home side's hopes. By then, Bregenz had already shown they could weather the pressure, and they saw out the final minutes without conceding again. The support of the fans could be called devoted, but that is an assessment, not a fact. The fact is that the club sits top of the table
