Allerheiligen vs St. Anna

ALLERHEILIGEN BEI WILDON, Austria (Interstat) — Visiting Saint Anna delivered a disciplined away performance to defeat Allerheiligen 3-1 on Sunday in an Austrian Regionalliga match, defying pregame projections that heavily favored the hosts.

The match, part of the league’s 28th week of play, saw Saint Anna secure its first victory in the domestic competition this season, improving its league record to one win and one loss. Allerheiligen’s record in the Regionalliga fell to five wins, four losses and three draws.

Saint Anna established control early, with midfielder Christoph Kobald opening the scoring in the 22nd minute. His first-half goal provided a crucial advantage that the visitors managed effectively through the middle stages of the game at Sportanlage Allerheiligen.

The home side struggled to find a consistent attacking rhythm and was further hampered by disciplinary issues. Allerheiligen received three yellow cards, to Matej Grgic in the 31st minute, Luca Christian Puster in the 52nd and Urban Žibert in the 89th. Saint Anna’s Thomas List was also cautioned in the 56th minute.

The visitors put the result beyond doubt late in the second half. Substitute Patrick Wiesenhofer, who had entered the match in the 75th minute, found the net just four minutes later to double Saint Anna’s lead. A third goal, details of which were not specified in the provided information, sealed the 3-1 victory. The single goal for Allerheiligen was not detailed in the available data.

The outcome was a statistical surprise. According to Interstat, its pregame simulator had projected a 2-2 draw, while its ELO rating system gave Allerheiligen a 68.5 percent probability of winning the match.

Saint Anna, which now holds a combined record of four wins and one loss across all competitions this season, will look to build on the momentum from this upset. The team’s most recent prior result was a 7-3 loss at Hertha on Jan. 18.

Allerheiligen, which holds an overall record of 16 wins, seven losses and seven draws across all competitions, saw a brief two-match unbeaten run snapped. The team was coming off a 4-2 loss at Pachern just two days prior, on Friday. Its schedule does not get easier, with a quick turnaround to host Schladming on Friday, March 13, the first of ten consecutive league matches to conclude its regular season.

The match was officiated under the authority of the Austrian Football Association’s Regionalliga, the country’s third division.
