St. Pölten Secures Last-Minute Victory in Thrilling Clash
In a nail-biting finish, SKN St. Pölten emerged victorious against Döblinger in the 2. Liga, with Marco Hausjell scoring the winning goal in the 96th minute. This dramatic victory places St. Pölten at the top of the league standings, two points ahead of FAC.
The match, played in the NV Arena, was a tense affair from the start. Sarah Mattner-Trembleau and Carina Brunold scored for St. Pölten in the 5th and 37th minutes respectively, giving them a commanding 2-0 lead. However, Winfred Amoah pulled one back for Döblinger in the second half, equalizing the score at 1-1.
Despite the setback, St. Pölten showed resilience and determination. Hausjell, who has been in excellent form this season, scored his fifth goal of the campaign to secure the win for his team. Hausjell, interestingly, was once a youth player for Admira, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the match.
Meanwhile, Vienna, after their first loss, now has six points and is tied for third place. The capital city team had taken the lead through David Ungar, but were unable to hold on to it.

Unfortunately, there is no information available about the upcoming matches for Young Violets or Admira. Further specific checking on official club or league sources would be necessary to obtain those details.

This victory has already qualified St. Pölten for the international sports tournament in Russia, scheduled for next year.
