WOLFSBERG, Austria (March 1, 2026) (Interstat) — Substitute Otar Kiteishvili scored in the 73rd minute to secure a 2-2 draw for Sturm Graz against Wolfsberger on Sunday in the Austrian Bundesliga season opener at Lavanttal-Arena.

Wolfsberger took a lead in the 19th minute on a goal from midfielder Boris Matić. Sturm Graz forward Erik Kojzek equalized just after halftime in the 51st. The visitors faced a setback when Cheikh Mamadou Diabaté received a red card in the 61st minute, but Kiteishvili’s late strike split the points.

The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Wolfsberger a 90.3% probability to win. The match featured seven yellow cards in addition to the dismissal. Both clubs begin their league campaigns with a draw.
