Lask moves into the Cup Round of 16 with confidence

While the likes of Valon Berisha, Melayro Bogarde and Hrvoje Smolcic were rested, Maksym Talovierov made his second start of the season and Sascha Horvath returned to the team after suspension. The third-division side from Vienna started bravely and had their first good chance after 13 minutes, Philipp Kurz getting a step late after a good through ball to defend and a subsequent cross. Minutes later, Lask knocked a first-time shot from Moses Ueser into the side netting.

The Lins team, as expected, set the tone, upped the tempo and moved forward on the right after 19 minutes. Horvath fed Robert Sulz, who was lurking in the back court, and he went inside to make it 1-0. Our captain’s second goal in the 36th minute was the result of a similar pattern, this time played in by the advancing left-back George Bello, who found Sulj at the other end – again he needed only one touch. Third cup goal in total for LASK.

After 45 minutes, head coach Marcus Schaub rested three players, Philippe Jéris, Jorge Bello and Moses User, giving valuable game time to Thomas Tavares, Rene Renner and Alexis Tibidi. With the third goal after 55 minutes, Robert Zulge got the job done for the day after winning the ball from Branko Jovicic. The 19-year-old celebrated his professional debut for the Senegalese athletes.

After 69 minutes, LASK’s scorer was not Zulj for the first time: after a conversation between Tavares and Horvath, Taoui scored to make it 4-0 for the guests. Immediately, there was another reason to be happy: Ibrahim Mustafa celebrated his return after a long injury layoff and was able to play in a competitive match against Liverpool FC for the first time since November 2023. It was the last highlight of the game, with a convincing performance that saw LASK progress to the round of 16 for the eleventh time in a row and become the ninth Bundesliga side. Enemy for 29/30/31. The last two second round matches will be decided on Wednesday evenings in October.
