Wolfsberger AC returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over Austria Vienna in the Austrian Bundesliga on December 7, 2025. The three points at the Lavanttal-Arena ended a poor run of form for Wolfsberger and dented Austria Vienna's European ambitions. Wolfsberger took the lead with a penalty in the first half, but Austria Vienna equalized early in the second period with a fine solo effort. The match winner came from a defensive error, as Wolfsberger capitalized on a misplaced pass to score with a low finish into the corner. The key incident was a disallowed Austria Vienna goal for a marginal offside call, confirmed by VAR. The match result lifted Wolfsberger back into the top-half conversation, while Austria Vienna missed a chance to gain ground. The Wolfsberger coach spoke of a "massive relief," and the Austria Vienna manager was critical of his team's defensive mistakes.
