FC BW Linz 2:3 Wacker Innsbruck: Cup Match Result

Match report

Wacker Innsbruck beat Linz 3:2 in the Round of 32 of the cup on September 5th. The visitors overturned a first-half deficit to reach the last 16, overturning the result from their meeting earlier this month when Linz won 3:0 at home.

D. Kreiker opened the scoring for Linz in the sixth minute, but R. Vucic equalised for Wacker before the half-hour mark. The hosts dominated possession at 53 per cent and registered 81 attacks to Wacker's 56, yet the visitors were more clinical when it counted.

Wacker took the lead through Y. Guermouche in the 73rd minute, then L. Gstrein doubled their advantage six minutes later. R. Tekir added a third in the 86th minute, securing the win after Linz had pinned them back for large stretches.

Linz made three substitutions between the 56th and 69th minutes, while Wacker brought on four players across the same period. L. Gstrein was substituted off in the 82nd minute after his goal, while K. Conte came on for the visitors late on.

Linz registered 16 shots with five on target, but Wacker needed only three shots on target to score twice. The visitors earned eight corners to Linz's two, suggesting the hosts controlled territory without creating clear-cut chances.

The result ends Linz's cup campaign and sends Wacker Innsbruck through to the next round. The away side had lost 0:3 to Linz on August 7th, so this victory completes a reversal of fortunes in their encounters this season.
