Match report
Sturm Graz came from a goal down to beat Grazer AK 6-1 at Stadion Graz-Liebenau, taking control with three goals in six minutes before pulling clear after the break.
Christopher Cvetko put Grazer AK ahead in the 10th minute from a Yannick Oberleitner assist, but Luca Weinhandl levelled in the 37th minute from Valmir Matoshi's pass. Jurgen Heil restored the lead two minutes later with an assist from Luis Balbo, and Oumar Diakité made it 3-1 in the 41st minute. The half-time score was Sturm Graz 3-1 Grazer AK.
A VAR check in first-half stoppage time ruled out a Sturm Graz goal for Joshua Quarshie. After the interval, Diakité struck twice more, on 49 and 51 minutes, both set up by Simon Seidl, for his second and third goals of the match and a 5-1 lead before he was booked on 52 minutes. Sturm Graz made two changes on 59 minutes, sending on Jacob Peter Hödl and Albert Vallci, and another on 60 minutes when Szymon Wlodarczyk replaced Diakité. Jon Gorenc Stanković then sealed it on 75 minutes, again from Seidl's assist.
The numbers backed Sturm Graz's margin. They had 55% possession, 312 passes and 55% of the ball to Grazer AK's 45%, plus 24 shots to 12, 10 on target to 3, 6 corners to 2 and an xG of 3.47 to 0.62. Grazer AK had 17 fouls to 8 and both sides were shown two yellow cards.
Grazer AK's bookings went to Mark Große on 48 minutes and Alexander Hofleitner on 53 minutes. Sturm Graz were cautioned through Oumar Diakité on 52 minutes and Julian Halwachs on 82 minutes. There were no red cards.
