Unbeaten streak continues for Lask in the relegation league's battle.
Unbeaten Streak Extends as LASK Topples WSG Tirol
On Good Friday, LASK continued their triumphant streak, securing a 2:0 victory over WSG Tirol. This marked their fourth consecutive win since settling for a draw, as Christoph Lang (50') and Robert Zulj (53') found the back of the net for a commanding performance. With these two decisive goals, LASK enhanced their lead at the top of the table, distancing themselves from close pursuit by Hartberg by a substantial 11 points.
Meanwhile, trouble continues to brew for WSG Tirol, who remain embroiled in the relegation battle. Coach Phillip Semlic's team sits two points behind LASK, making their visit to bottom-dwelling Altach on Saturday (5 PM) a critical encounter in their quest to avoid the drop.
Conversely, LASK's defensive integrity remained unscathed, as they remained undefeated in their past four outings while keeping a clean sheet in each game. The Wattens team, unfortunately, has yet to match the fireworks show they put on during their 5:3 win against Austria Klagenfurt last week. Despite the lack of dangerous chances created in the first half, the Tyroleans displayed much-improved form following the break, albeit to no avail.
After a dominant first half, LASK returned from the break with renewed vigor. Lang took advantage of a wayward clearance attempt to find the back of the net in style, swiftly followed by Zulj, who outmaneuvered WSG captain Jamie Lawrence for a cool finish. The guests rallied and pushed for an equalizer, but LASK's defensive efforts remained resolute. Despite several chances seized by Valentino Müller and Bror Blume, the visitors could not find a route back into the game.
LASK's "joker," Florian Flecker, came close to scoring a third goal but settled for a wide shot, while Zulj nearly extended LASK's advantage with a free kick against Adam Stejskal. Ultimately, LASK's solid defensive performance and the goals scored by Lang and Zulj secured a hard-fought win, pushing them further ahead in the race for Bundesliga qualification.
Historically, LASK has enjoyed success against WSG Swarovski Tirol, achieving multiple victories over the years and maintaining a strong overall performance in Bundesliga matches. The points earned from this triumph will bolster LASK's standing in the qualification group and likely improve their chances of securing a coveted Bundesliga spot.
The victory against WSG Tirol in their football match further highlights LASK's dominance in sports, extending their unbeaten streak to five games. Christoph Lang and Robert Zulj's goals played a crucial role in this win, further enhancing LASK's lead at the top of the table.
