Gabriele Gori keeps the receipts

Nicolás Varela wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Mattersburg know it.

Nobody could get near Nils Schouterden
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

In brief
- Player ratings Yusuf Demir ran the game
