Player ratings

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Market

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.

Squad

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.

Match

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.

Player ratings

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.

Squad

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.

Player ratings

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.

Market

Maximilian Sabitzer 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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Marco Bertoni

There were 6 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Mattersburg

Thomas Sabitzer 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.

Squad

Thomas Sabitzer 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.
