Hartberg Am and SV Lafnitz played out a 2:2 draw in the Regional League South on Saturday. The result keeps both sides in the lower half of the table as the season gets underway.
Hartberg Am sit sixteenth with five games played and just one point from their first five outings. They had lost their previous fixture 0:1 away to Gleisdorf 09, so this point offers some relief after that defeat.
SV Lafnitz move to eighth place with eight points from five matches. They came into the match with momentum, having beaten Weiz 2:1 in their last game on August seventh.
The draw ends SV Lafnitz's run of back-to-back results that included a 3:1 win over Schaeblingkirchen and matches against Austria Wien Am and Kapfenberg. Hartberg Am extend a winless streak that stretches across their opening five games.
Both teams remain in the bottom half with significant work ahead. Hartberg Am still need their first victory to climb out of the relegation zone, while SV Lafnitz look to build on their eight-point tally.
