Bundesliga live: Do Sturms have great series? The last best is missing against Lustenau

Sturm Graz has remained unbeaten in 16 Bundesliga matches and holds a remarkable streak of 15 consecutive wins against Austria Lustenau, a record unmatched by any other team in the league. The team has won 20 out of 21 games against Lustenau, suggesting strong dominance over their rivals. However, their most recent home game against another team from Vorarlberg, Altach, ended in a 1:0 victory despite Altach being the stronger side in the first half. This raises questions about whether Austria Lustenau is becoming more efficient. Additionally, Sturm Graz will be without their injured goalkeeper Danill Chudjakow, who has been performing strongly recently, and Ammar Helac is set to make his debut.

In a surprising turn of events, Austria Lustenau secured their first point against Sturm Graz since 1997 in a tightly contested match at Graz-Liebenau. The result ended in a 1–1 draw, marking a rare defeat for the reigning champions who had previously won all 15 of their previous Bundesliga encounters against the Vorarlberger side. This outcome came just one day after Sturm Graz had extended their unbeaten run in the league to 16 games, further highlighting the significance of this result. The game began with Austria Lustenau taking an early lead through a goal from Dominik Weixelbraun in the tenth minute. However, Sturm Graz responded shortly before halftime, equalizing via a penalty awarded after a VAR review. The decision was made following a challenge by Sturm’s Fabian Gmeiner, which resulted in a handball incident involving Seedy Jatta. The penalty was converted by Jatta, who found the net with a powerful strike into the right corner of the goal. Despite the draw, the performance of both teams reflected contrasting fortunes. While Austria Lustenau managed to secure a crucial point, they struggled to maintain pressure throughout the match. Their goalkeeper, Domenik Schierl, was forced to make several key saves, including a last-minute red card for a minor head contact during stoppage time. Meanwhile, Sturm Graz’s new goalkeeper, Ammar Helac, made his debut in place of the injured Daniil Chudjakow, who had been sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Sturm’s tactical adjustments were evident as coach Fabio Ingolitsch opted to change his attacking duo, replacing Axel Kayombo and Nelson Weiper with Seedy Jatta and Szymon Wlodarczyk. This move appeared to have mixed results, as both players occasionally failed to capitalize on opportunities. On the other hand, Austria Lustenau maintained a consistent approach, particularly in the second half, where they created several chances despite being unable to convert them into goals. The match saw moments of tension, especially in the final stages. A free-kick from Weixelbraun was saved by Helac, while an attempted shot from Gizo Mamageishvili was deflected away. Both teams had multiple opportunities to decide the game, but neither could find a decisive moment. The final minutes saw a dramatic twist when Schierl received a red card for a light head contact, forcing Sturm to bring on substitute Lenn Jastremski, who cleared the ball from the danger zone in the dying seconds. This result marks a significant milestone for Austria Lustenau, ending their long-standing losing streak against Sturm Graz. It also represents a major shift in momentum for the team, as they now sit fifth in the league standings. For Sturm, the draw means they remain undefeated in their home games, though they now trail the top two teams by a single point. The next challenge for both sides will come in the coming days as the season progresses.
