TSV Hartberg defeated Wolfsberger AC 1-0 at home on Saturday, extending the visitors' losing streak to six consecutive Austrian Bundesliga matches. Konstantin Schopp scored the decisive goal in the 85th minute after converting a cross from Tobias Kainz. The victory moved Hartberg into fifth place, overtaking SC Ried, who had the same number of points. Wolfsberger AC remains last in the standings, trailing FK Austria Wien by two points. The match marked the debut for new Wolfsberger manager Michael Schmid, who took over following the dismissal of Thomas Silberberger after five straight defeats. Schmid, who previously managed Hartberg last season, had limited preparation time after assuming the role on Thursday. He altered four positions in his starting lineup and deployed a back five formation. The visitors adopted a defensive approach, limiting space for the hosts. Early chances were scarce, with Angelo Gattermayer hitting the outside of the net from a free kick in the 14th minute. A double chance created by Giacomo Vrioni and Aaron Sky Schwarz in the 41st minute went unused. Hartberg increased their intensity in the second half. Gattermayer shot narrowly over the bar in the 49th minute. His subsequent pass to Marco Hoffmann was missed in the 50th minute. Fabian Wohlmuth made a critical save in the 58th minute, clearing a ball from Magnus Dalpiaz off the line after Lior Gliklich failed to connect. Hoffmann missed a chance to extend the lead in the 88th minute. On the other side, Donis Avdijaj failed to equalize in the 92nd minute. In a parallel fixture, WSG Tirol drew 1-1 with Grazer AK at the Innsbruck Tivoli. Alexander Hofleitner gave Graz the lead from a penalty in the ninth minute. Nikolai Baden Frederiksen equalized for Tirol in the 63rd minute. The result dropped WSG Tirol to seventh place, leaving them two points ahead of Graz in eighth position.
