Gerasdorf Stammersdorf vs Mistelbach

The first half produced few clear-cut chances for either side. The only booking of the match came a minute before the break, when Mistelbach's Michael Steingassner was shown a yellow card by referee Fatih Dogru. The teams went in at half-time with the score still 0-0.

Both managers used the interval to overhaul their line-ups. Gerasdorf made five changes at the restart — Noah Schimek, Christian Mijatovic, Lukas Bamer, Felix Pattart and Daniel Kraus all entered the fray — while Mistelbach also made five substitutions, bringing on Esad Sahin, Filip Lukasik, Ionut Ciobanu, Oskar Fath and Lukas Chmelicek.

The breakthrough arrived in the 80th minute. Andreas Ebersberger found the net for the visitors, scoring what proved to be the only goal of the match and handing Mistelbach a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish.

Ebersberger's 80th-minute strike was the match's defining moment. In a contest where both defences had largely held firm and clear chances were at a premium, his goal was the one moment of quality that separated the sides. Gerasdorf were unable to mount a response in the final ten minutes, and Mistelbach saw out the win comfortably.

Andreas Ebersberger (Mistelbach) — The match-winner. His 80th-minute goal was the decisive contribution in a game of few chances, and he showed composure to finish when it mattered.

Michael Steingassner (Mistelbach) — Booked just before half-time but played a disciplined second half, helping his side protect the clean sheet after the restart.

Fatih Dogru (Referee) — Kept control of a competitive but clean pre-season friendly, issuing only one yellow card across the 90 minutes.

The 0-1 scoreline reflects a tight, evenly-matched contest typical of early pre-season friendlies. The fact that both sides changed five players at half-time, and that the only goal did not arrive until the 80th minute, suggests both teams were prioritising fitness and minutes over attacking urgency. The single yellow card (Steingassner, 44') indicates a disciplined contest with little needle between the two Austrian lower-league sides.

For Gerasdorf/Stammersdorf, this was their second pre-season friendly of the summer under new head coach Christian Prehsel, who was appointed on 14 July 2026. The Wiener Stadtliga side lost their opening friendly 2-0 to SV Donau on 18 July, meaning they are still searching for their first win of the preparation period. They next face SC Retz away on 25 July.

Mistelbach, who play in the 2. Landesliga Ost (Lower Austria), made it two wins from two pre-season outings after beating SC Laa Thaya 5-2 on 18 July. The clean sheet will be a particular positive for the coaching staff as they build towards the 2026/27 season.

A low-key but useful pre-season workout for both Austrian lower-league sides. Mistelbach's fitness edge and Ebersberger's finishing made the difference in a contest where neither side created many clear openings. Gerasdorf will hope to find more attacking rhythm before their next test against SC Retz.
