BAD SCHALLERBACH, Austria (Interstat) — Aleksander Buksa scored twice, including the decisive goal in extra time, to lift WSG Tirol to a 2-0 victory over Bad Schallerbach in an AUT: Cup of Austria match on Monday.

The match, played at Sportplatz SV Sedda Bad Schallerbach, required 120 minutes to decide after a contentious and scoreless regulation. The visiting Tirol side finally broke through in the 109th minute and sealed the result in the 114th.

Buksa, a 6-foot-2 attacker from Kraków, Poland, was the clear protagonist. He opened the scoring by converting a penalty kick in the 109th minute after a foul in the box. He then secured the victory just five minutes later, finishing a chance created during a sustained period of pressure to complete his brace.

The game was a physical affair from the outset, with five yellow cards issued, three to Bad Schallerbach players. The home side’s Alexander Fröschl received a booking in the ninth minute, one of the earliest cautions of the match. The tension escalated in the 101st minute, when concurrent yellow cards were shown to Bad Schallerbach’s Valentin Frank and WSG Tirol’s Luca Kronberger.

Bad Schallerbach, competing in the domestic cup competition, struggled to generate consistent offense against the higher-division opponent. Their season record in this tournament fell to 0-1. Across all competitions, they are now 3-1-4.

WSG Tirol, which competes in the Austrian Bundesliga, improved its record in the Cup of Austria to 5-2. The win provided a measure of momentum following a 1-1 draw with SV Oberbank Ried just one day prior on Sunday. Their overall record across all competitions now stands at 11-10-7.

The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 2-1 victory for the home side. However, the same service’s ELO rating system had given WSG Tirol a 59.90 percent probability to win, a prediction borne out by the extra-time performance.

Key to Tirol’s control of the match was midfielder Valentino Müller of Lustenau, Austria, who logged a full 90 minutes in the engine room. For Bad Schallerbach, attacker Miliam Guerrib of Rijeka, Croatia, also played the entirety of regulation in an effort to spark his team’s attack.

WSG Tirol will look to carry this cup success into league play, with its next match scheduled for Sunday, March 1, on the road against B-W Linz in Bundesliga action. Bad Schallerbach’s next fixture is not immediately listed on the provided schedule.
