Manprit Sarkaria (in the 11th minute) and Tomi Horvat (in the 44th minute) were the ones to score for Sturm Graz. The TSV Hartberg had 13 shots on goal, with six of them actually hitting the target. The goal for TSV Hartberg came in the 75th minute from Dario Tadi. Sturm Graz's defense has only shown its mettle in a few of the most recent games on isolated occasions.

On the other end of the field, Wolfsberger AC had 11 shots on goal, with 5 of them finding their intended target. Wolfsberger AC got goals from Maurice Malone (in the 25th minute) and Tai Baribo (30th and 44th minutes). The statistics tell the story, as Austria Klagenfurt has allowed opponents to score in six of their last six games, leading to a total of 13 goals being scored against them in those contests. In the secondary position, Austria Klagenfurt have had their vulnerabilities brought to light. Away from home in either of Austria Klagenfurt's previous two league matches counts as a loss for them heading into this one.
