Benjamin Leneis stands alone
16 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Nowhere to hide for Grodig
0‑9 against Mattersburg, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Grodig rebuffed over Lukas Gütlbauer
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Wolfsberger AC have kept their man, and Grodig go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Maximilian Alaba steps up from the Grodig academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Maximilian Alaba has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
