FC Wacker Innsbruck 3–0 SVG Reichenau: Innsbruck Power Past Amateur Opposition

FC Wacker Innsbruck began their Austrian Cup campaign in emphatic fashion with a 3–0 victory over SVG Reichenau on 26 July 2026. The Regionalliga side proved too strong for the amateur visitors, securing a comfortable passage to the second round in front of a lively crowd at the Tivoli Stadion.

Wacker Innsbruck dominated possession from the first minute and broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute. A swift passing move carved open the Reichenau defense, allowing striker Alexander Grünwald to fire low into the far corner. The home side doubled their lead just before half-time when Lukas Hupfauf headed in from a corner, giving the visitors a mountain to climb.

The second half was a controlled performance from Innsbruck, who managed the game expertly. The third goal arrived in the 68th minute as Thomas Mayer swept home a cutback from the right flank, putting the result beyond doubt. Reichenau fought hard but rarely tested the Wacker goalkeeper, with their best chance coming from a long-range effort that sailed narrowly over the bar.

The victory underlines Wacker Innsbruck's ambition in the Austrian Cup, as they seek to emulate their historic runs in the competition. For SVG Reichenau, the focus returns to their league campaign, but they can be proud of their spirited performance against a much higher-ranked opponent.
