St. Martin: After the ray of hope comes the bitter setback

Just three days ago, St. Martin Moos showed a big sign of life in the relegation battle. But on Wednesday there was the next setback.

St. Martin Moos is fighting for its sporting survival in the state league. And the people of Passiria actually gained a lot of self-confidence on Sunday: The Blue-Whites achieved their first win in six months against Latsch. But the Mortiners did not take the improvement into the early duel in the 26th round against Voran Leifers. Elmar Haller & Co. were defeated 0-3 at home.

St. Martin Moos kept a clean sheet against Leifers for more than an hour, after which they conceded three goals. Stefan Clementi gave Paolo Tornatore's team a 1-0 lead with a penalty, and in the final minutes substitutes Dylan Esposito (82') and Daniele Balzamà (88') increased the lead to 3-0.

St. Martin is tumbling towards the 1st amateur league

While Voran Leifers, which did not have an easy season this year, can plan for the next state league championship with this victory, the situation in the Passeier Valley is becoming a lot bleaker again. The former Oberliga club is currently only four points behind the saving 13th place, which is currently occupied by Schenna. However, the Burggräfler could pull away on Saturday with a win against bottom team Ridnauntal. There are now four games left for St. Martin Moos.
