In the last test match before the upcoming World Cup in Switzerland, Austria celebrated a 4-1 home win over Slovenia and gained further self-confidence before the title fights.
“This victory obviously gives you self-confidence. I think it was deserved over 60 minutes and gives you a good feeling,” he said Head coach Roger Bader satisfied. His team dominated for long stretches, sometimes creating chances every minute. Only Tor didn’t want to succeed at first. From the 15th minute onwards the momentum changed after Bernd Wolf had to go to the penalty box, in the 18th minute Tim Harnisch was given a 2+2 time penalty and in the middle of this Peter Schneider was also put in the cooler.
On the other hand, they were poisonous and consistent in the penalty killing and hardly allowed any chances. And if they did, then Atte Tolvanen presented himself as a safe support. The goalkeeper was also named player of the game at the end of the game.
After overcoming the time penalties, Austria found its rhythm again. After Dominic Zwerger won a target in the neutral zone, the Swiss legionnaire stormed towards the goal together with Peter Schneider, who served him, who made it 1-0 under pressure (30th minute). Just a little later, Clemens Unterweger pulled away from the blue line, the disc bounced onto Leon Kolarik’s shin and from there into the goal to make it 2-0 (31st minute).
The final third sputtered along a bit at times, but Austria controlled the action. In the 47th minute they played their way perfectly into the attacking third, where Kolarik passed it to Benjamin Nissner, who had time, prepared the target and scored precisely to make it 3-0.
In the 53rd minute, Filip Sitar put Slovenia on the scoreboard. At the end of the game, the guests pulled their goalkeeper, Peter Schneider took advantage of this to make the final score 4-1 (60th minute).
