Styrians had their first chance in the 36th minute, but Leitner was able to finish it off Hellbarth parry. Almost in return, Cross scored a goal, but it was disallowed due to foul play. It was 0-0 at the break.
In the second half, the Raiders got even stronger as the fog rolled in. In the 48th minute, Berger scored from close range after a Vollmuth cross. A few minutes later, Cross hit a nice long-range shot that hit the crossbar. In the 64th minute, SVR’s much-celebrated opening goal: after a Bomer cross, a Kapfenberg header headed into his own goal, before Berger scored to make it 1-0. Moments later, KSV had a good chance to equalize, but Leitner made the save. In the 85th minute, Cross made a fine individual effort and headed into the far corner to make it 2-0. Two minutes later, Mariček made the final score 3-0. The Slovenian beat Strebinger to make it 1-1 with a cross from the right. Kapfenberg couldn’t resist any longer, so SVR celebrated a well-deserved and important 3-0 home win!
