Sturm Graz has sealed the deal on another championship title after a tense match against Wolfsberger. With a single point, the team’s fans erupted in joy, celebrating their fifth title in club history.
The game saw William Boving draw first blood at 45+1′, only to have Ballo threaten to upset the balance at 67′. Despite not managing to regain the lead, Sturm Graz held on, and the final whistle sent the crowd into raptures. Not even the mid-season loss of Christian Ilzer to Hoffenheim could derail their title bid.
Contrasting Fortunes
Meanwhile, in Salzburgo, the mood was markedly different. RB Salzburg took down Rapid Viena 4-2, but the win came too late, and they were left to ponder what could have been. For the first time since the 2013/14 season, the championship slipped through their fingers, adding to the disappointment of a season that promised so much but ultimately yielded nothing.
