SV Horn 1-2 SR Donaufeld Wien | Austrian 3. Liga | 23 May 2026

A dramatic second‑half collapse cost SV Horn dearly as they let a first‑half lead slip in a 2‑1 defeat to fifth‑placed SR Donaufeld Wien at the Sparkasse Horn Arena. The match, played late on 22 May (local time 01:30), saw the home side take an early advantage only for the visitors to turn the game around through a clinical counter‑attacking display.

Match Overview

Horn entered the contest needing points to solidify their mid‑table position in the Austrian 3. Liga, while Donaufeld Wien arrived with ambitions of climbing into the top four. The opening 25 minutes were cautious, but Horn broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute. A well‑worked corner found central defender Mario Steinhart unmarked at the far post, and his header nestled into the bottom corner (1‑0).

The home side dominated possession until half‑time, but Donaufeld grew into the game after the restart. Their equalizer came in the 58th minute: a swift break down the right wing saw winger Florian Hartl cut inside and fire a low shot that goalkeeper Lukas Handle couldn’t keep out (1‑1).

Turning Point

Horn’s discipline unravelled after the equalizer. Central midfielder Stefan Posch received a second yellow card in the 67th minute for a reckless tackle, leaving his team a man down. Donaufeld wasted no time capitalizing. Just five minutes later, substitute striker Dominik Kainz headed home a free‑kick from the left to make it 2‑1 (74‘).

Despite a frantic finish, Horn could not find a second goal. The result leaves Horn in ninth place with 34 points, while Donaufeld jump to fifth with 40 points, keeping their slim promotion hopes alive.

• Man of the Match: Florian Hartl (SR Donaufeld Wien) – one goal, constant threat on the break.
• Key Stat: Horn have now lost three of their last four home games after winning five of six at home earlier in the season.
• Attendance: 1,120 – a solid midweek turnout.

SR Donaufeld Wien will hope to continue their push when they host bottom‑side SC Wiener Neustadt next weekend, while SV Horn travel to ASKÖ Oedt looking to halt their slide.
