LASK, who recently rested at the top of the Bundesliga table, suffered their first defeat of the season. Linz lost 4-1 at home to the Wall Street Journal on Saturday, with Slovenian Nick Prilic scoring three goals. Austria’s Klagenfurt also beat bottom club SCR Altach 4-1, and Markus Pink scored in the triple set. WAC was the only team to win in front of a home crowd and defeated TSV Hartberg 3:1.

Something was introduced to fans at LASK Raiffeisen Arena in Pasching from the start. Keito Nakamura and Prelic got off to a great start with two goals in the first five minutes. Brillic put WSG ahead in the 41st minute with his second Bundesliga goal, then Lautaro Rinaldi (45+1) scored to give Watteners a 3-1 lead in the first half. Thomas Silberger’s fourth strike in the 63rd minute – again by Perlick – was the initial decision and in the end it stayed that way.

Before Sunday’s games, LASK was second behind Red Bull Salzburg. Defending champion Rapid meets in the evening game in Wals-Siezenheim, and Sturm Graz plays at home against rising Austria Lustenau. Austria should play against SV Ried in Vienna.
