Ep. 7: LASK Falls Flat on Surprising 🇦🇹 Kickoff Weekend

Episode 7 – The Austrian Bundesliga is back and already full of surprises!

In this week’s episode of My Soccer Universe Football Talk, I recap the opening round of the 2025/26 Austrian Bundesliga — and it didn’t disappoint!

⚫ LASK kicked things off at home in a big clash against Sturm Graz, but the defending champions proved their class and walked away with the win. I share my thoughts on the match, LASK’s performance, and the excitement of opening night.

🏆 I also look back at last week’s ÖFB Cup action, where LASK did better — but not without surprises elsewhere!

🌍 With limited club football elsewhere, I touch on how Austrian teams performed in Europe, though I admit I didn’t catch every detail.

⚽ Saturday’s Bundesliga games brought three unexpected results:

• WSG Tirol now sit top of the table!

• Altach stunned Wolfsberg with a 2–0 away win

• Reed, newly promoted, held RB Salzburg to a 1–1 draw!

🟣 Sunday saw the two Vienna giants in action after their European matches:

• Rapid Vienna edged out Blau-Weiß Linz in a close game

• Austria Vienna looked dominant but only managed a 2–2 draw against GAK, thanks to some worrying defending.

Finally, I give a short preview of what’s ahead in the league and how my vacation schedule might impact the next few episodes.

Thanks for listening — and stay tuned for more insights on Austrian and European football!
