Super sub Edomwonyi leads Austria Wien past Altach

Bright Edomwonyi was the hero as Austrian Wien secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Altach in Tuesday’s Austrian topflight encounter.

Five minutes after his introduction in the second-half, he got the all-important point as his team responded positively to their aching home loss to St. Polten on Saturday.

Despite dominating possession in the opening minutes of the encounter, the visitors were unable to beat the hosts’ backline marshalled by Berkay Dabanli and Philipp Schmiedl.

Altach’s first major threat came in the 25th minute but goalkeeper Patrick Pentz parried Sidney Sam’s shot as well as a rebound from Daniel Nussbaumer who was in an offside position.
