Lafnitz secured a 2:1 victory over Weiz in the Regional League - South stage on Thursday. The result came in front of a sell-out crowd at the home ground. By then, both sides carried identical records into the fixture.
Lafnitz moved off eighth place with the win, while Weiz remained fifth. Both teams sat on eight points from five games each. To be fair, the table positions told only half the story.
The hosts had won their last outing 3:1 against Schailbinkirchen before that heavy 0:5 defeat to Austria Vienna. Weiz came in having drawn 2:2 with Lebring in their most recent game. And here's the thing — recent form offered no clear predictor.
The victory gave Lafnitz momentum in the South section. Weiz will look to bounce back from a result that dropped them further behind the leaders. Eight points after five rounds means everything remains possible.
