Daniel Nunoo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 42. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Christoph Weimann
93 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mattersburg lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Oliver Lukić: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Mattersburg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Christoph Weimann has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Mattersburg they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Marco Bertoni falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Mattersburg find a way past Grodig
Grodig made Mattersburg work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

One of those days for Stefan Lainer
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.03, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

No hiding place for Isaiah Dada-Mascoll
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Isaiah Dada-Mascoll, and the manager let it.

Nothing got past Thomas Sabitzer
9 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
In brief
- Market Mattersburg put Christoph Weimann up for sale
- Market Patrick Arnautovic leaves for nothing
- Market Wolfgang Lienhart leaves for nothing
