St. Veit with a strong performance in section one

The “St. Fighter” lays the foundation for later success in round one. After Pühringer mercilessly punished a blatant defensive blunder by the regional league foals (19th) and a Pirslin missile found its way to luck (25th), Rieder marked the 3-0 break result, which was extremely comfortable from Pongau’s point of view, in the 36th minute. “In the first half we were clearly better, in the second it got better,” summed up St. Veit player coach Stefan Portenkirchner. Although the Saalfelden made it 3-1 immediately after the restart through Ramo (47th), St. Veit’s first “treble” in what felt like an eternity could not be shaken.

The best at St. Veit: Rieder, Pirnbacher, Linsinger
