GRAZ, Austria (Interstat) — Wolfsberger opened the Austrian Bundesliga season with a surprising 3-1 away victory over Sturm Graz on Sunday at Merkur Arena. The result defied pregame projections that heavily favored the hosts.

Wolfsberger’s attack was potent, with Dejan Zukić, Simon Piesinger and Rene Renner all scoring in the first half to build a commanding 3-0 lead by the 32nd minute. Filip Rózga netted the lone goal for Sturm Graz in the 54th minute. The match was marred by a red card shown to Wolfsberger’s Dominik Baumgartner in the 75th minute. Both clubs now hold 0-0 records to start the league campaign.
