10 saves: Friedrich Krause was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match26 Aug 2026

Mattersburg march on in the cup

Admira Wacker are out and Mattersburg go through, 3‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

No sign of nerves from Guido Posch at 19 — 9.60

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Guido Posch did not need any: 9.60, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A day Guido Posch will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Peter Sabitzer

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Marcel Ulmer asks to leave Mattersburg

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mattersburg

Marcel Ilsanker 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

6 goals as Mattersburg and Sturm Graz go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Mattersburg and Sturm Graz, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match29 Aug 2026

Sturm Graz take the points off Mattersburg

Beaten 2‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match22 Aug 2026

Mattersburg tear SV Ried apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against SV Ried, and it could have been more.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg say no — this time

The offer from Rapid Wien for Friedrich Krause was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Guido Posch, 19, steals the show — 7.74

Marked 7.74 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market24 Aug 2026

Marcel Ilsanker attracts admirers

The name of Marcel Ilsanker has come up in conversations Mattersburg were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market24 Aug 2026

Xaver Posch puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mattersburg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg baulk at the price for Martin Ndzie

Rapid Wien wanted more than $2.6M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Mattersburg

Marcel Ilsanker and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Philipp Lazaro runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg lose Marcel Ulmer

19 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

A debut Guido Posch will not forget — 7.38

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.38 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad3 Aug 2026

6 saves: Friedrich Krause was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Mattersburg say no — this time

The offer from Austria Wien for Guido Posch was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market3 Aug 2026

Gernot Trimmel hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mattersburg can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Marcel Ilsanker in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mattersburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Door shut on Thomas Sandon

Mattersburg asked and Vicenza said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market3 Aug 2026

Grodig join the queue for Markus Trimmel

Add another name to the list: Grodig have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Markus Trimmel. The answer from Mattersburg has not changed — yet.

Match1 Aug 2026

Mattersburg rescue it on 93 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 93. Rapid Wien had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Squad3 Aug 2026

No place for Sebastian Bauer in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Mattersburg are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
