Langenrohr vs Red Star Penzing

The introduction of Yasin Turoglu at the 55th minute changed the game. Within five minutes of coming on, the midfielder scored to halve the deficit and shift momentum decisively. Before his arrival, Langenrohr had looked comfortable protecting a two-goal lead; afterwards, Red Star Penzing scored three more in 23 minutes.

Timo Todor-Kostic (Red Star Penzing) — Scored the crucial equaliser in the 66th minute and was a constant threat in the second half. His energy in central areas disrupted Langenrohr's shape.

Yasin Turoglu (Red Star Penzing) — The match-winner off the bench. His goal in the 60th minute sparked the comeback and his movement created space for the attackers around him. A clear candidate for the impact substitute of the pre-season.

Benjamin Noss (Langenrohr) — Scored his side's second goal and was involved in Langenrohr's best first-half attacking moments. Faded as Red Star Penzing took control after the break.

Player of the match: Timo Todor-Kostic — His equaliser was the moment the game turned, and his all-action display in the second half set the tone for the visitors' recovery.

Red Star Penzing's four-goal second half suggests a side that found its rhythm after a slow start. The visitors' ability to score four times in 23 minutes — between the 60th and 83rd minutes — reflects a sharp increase in intensity and pressing after the break. Langenrohr, by contrast, could not sustain their first-half tempo; they failed to create meaningful chances after the interval and were caught out on the counter repeatedly.

For Langenrohr — who compete in the 1. Landesliga (Niederösterreich), Austria's fourth tier — this was a valuable test against higher-level opposition. The result extended their run of pre-season defeats, having also lost 2-3 to TWL Elektra on 24 July and 0-1 to SV Würmla on 31 July. Their next competitive fixture is away to 1. Fortuna Wiener Neustädter SC on 9 August 2026.

Red Star Penzing, who play in the Wienerliga (Austrian fourth tier, Vienna group), continued their pre-season preparations with an encouraging performance. Their resilience in coming from two goals down will please the coaching staff. Their next pre-season test is against ASV 13 on 14 August.

A tale of two halves: Langenrohr were sharp and efficient for 45 minutes, but Red Star Penzing's superior fitness and tactical adjustments after the break proved decisive. The visitors' depth — particularly the impact of substitutes Turoglu and Bozovic — was the difference between a respectable draw and a comprehensive win.
