SV Stanz – SV Trieben 3:5 (1:3). Scorers: Sillah (2), Maierhofer for Stanz; Cosic (3), Jasarevic, Schweiger for Trieben. SV Stanz had high hopes for their final autumn match against SV Trieben, but the game tilted in favor of the visitors just 22 minutes in. Early goals from Ivan Cosic with a double and Adnan Jasarevic made it 0:3. Before halftime, Musa Sillah managed to score for Stanz, making it 1:3. However, their defensive shortcomings continued into the second half, leading to a 1:4 goal in the 54th minute. Manuel Maierhofer scored to bring it back to 2:4, but Cosic quickly restored the three-goal lead. Sillah added a late goal, finalizing the score at 3:5. ‘We could have achieved more; unfortunately, it was too easy defensively for the opponent. Overall, I’m not fully satisfied with the fall as we could have done better. However, I’m happy with the development of our young team and optimistic for the spring season,’ said Stanz coach Dietmar Schöggl.
SV Stainach/Gr. – ESV Mürzzuschlag 0:3 (0:1). Scorers: Schutting, Rudaj, Hirschegger. The Mürzzuschlag team aimed for three points in Stainach to maintain their top position.

A setback for the league leaders came when Schutting suffered a brutal foul and was taken to the hospital in Schladming. ‘The victory was more than deserved, marking our tenth consecutive win. The spring will surely see a tense contest among Mürztal teams.
