The Mattersburg Sentinel
Squad5 Oct 2026
A one-man rearguard from Xaver Posch
There were 15 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

9 matches without a win for Mattersburg
The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Mattersburg are no longer polite ones.

A fracture rules Kevin Prass out for 19 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Mattersburg will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Tempers go at Mattersburg
Martin Rasner was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

3 matches without a goal for Mattersburg
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

The crowd has taken to Xaver Posch
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Patrick Wober loses the armband
The captaincy has been taken off Patrick Wober. Mattersburg will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.
Match3 Oct 2026
Point won or two lost for Mattersburg?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Rapid Wien? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Nobody could get near Gernot Lindner
Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
