Austrian Football Scores
------------------------
1. Bundesliga, round 20:
November 14, 15

Austria Salzburg          2-1 Austria Wien                  Att: 12,000
Stadler 5'                    Hasenhuettl 35'
Lainer 42'                    red card: Prosenik 76' (2 yellow)
Deserved win for Salzburg in one of their better home matches this season.
Austria Wien only came in front of the Salzburg goal once (and scored),
Salzburg squandered many opportunities. Lainer's winner was a bit lucky,
a shot from well over 25 meters took a fortunate deflection.
Austria Wien trainer Stessl was none too happy with referee Wieser,
Salzburg trainer Baric thought Wieser had been perfect. How predictable.
(The man had been home-biased, it must be said, but Salzburg would have
won with a neutral ref as well.)

Admira/Wacker             6-0 Sturm Graz                    Att: 400
Ljung 8', 48', 75'
Marschall 15', 84'
Abfalterer 31'
Nice attendance/goal ratio (67 :-). Sturm are disgracing themselves after
being sentenced to the relegation playoff. "Experimenting," their coach
calls it. Wettkampfsverzerrung is more like it.

Vorwaerts Steyr           0-0 Wacker Innsbruck              Att; 4,000
Vorwaerts hold on for a rather fortunate draw with their new trainer,
whose name I've forgotten. The old one, whose name I also have forgotten,
was fired after 4 successive defeats.

Rapid                     1-0 VfB Moedling                  Att: 6,000
Hatz 92'
Rather hyped match (Rapid-trainer Starek and ex-Rapid-now-Moedling colleague
Krankl on none too friendly terms), which was as lousy as one could expect.
Defender Hatz scored his first Bundesliga goal, and an important one, in
overtime.

Sportclub                 1-0 Stahl Linz                    Att: 2,500
Janeschitz 40'
Played Sunday morning (with a minute silence for the deceased Ernst Happel),
deserved win for Sportclub though Stahl had their chances in the first half.

LASK                      0-3 Sankt Poelten                 Att: 1,500
                              Milewskij 57'
                              Vastic 68', 75'
LASK dominated the first half, St. Poelten the second, and more effectively.
The second goal should be credited to Milewskij IMO, the shot bounced from
the crossbar (thanks Jesper :-) behind the line and then in the field, before
Vastic netted it.
