BACK PASS: The brave little Markus

CRIME SCENE Landesliga : Further, ever further Was it the electrifying atmosphere that made Stegen's Markus Mutschlechner's adrenaline levels soar that any pain was numbed? Or does he simply embody the typical Pustra Bui – hard-nosed, tireless and, to a certain extent, immune to pain? A mixture of both ingredients probably applies to the Stegen defender.

Against Latzfons Verdings, he collided head-to-head with an opponent shortly before half-time and sustained a gash. For many, the sight of their own blood would have called it a day. But Mutschlechner had the substitutes bandage a turban on him, answered the president's question during half-time as to whether an ambulance should be called with a hissing "Why?" Stegen scored a 2-2 equalizer against the league leaders and then had himself taken to the hospital. Cool guy.

CRIME SCENE Landesliga : Stressed wallet Nico Perkmann from Partschins must have also experienced a woeful event: not in his own head, but rather in his own wallet. The 18-year-old was thrown into the national league pool for the first time in his life on Saturday against Salurn in the 80th minute - no easy task, after all in the game, in which Salurn was leading 3-2 at the time, it was played with the bite of a piranha -Swarm too. But Perkmann showed that he can find his way around new terrain quicker than a five-year-old at the candy aisle in the supermarket: three minutes after he came on, a cross sailed into the middle, where the young player was perfectly positioned and headed in to make it 3-3. In the end, Partschins even won 4:3.

What does this all have to do with the boy's wallet? Well, an old dressing room rule states that a case of beer is due for the team-mates both when they make their debut and when they score their first goal - if this is also the norm in Partschins, Perkmann's wallet will be put under double strain. Geez.

CRIME SCENE 2nd Amateur League, Group A : Like in a western saloon If the whole thing weren't so tragic, the scene could easily be compared to a saloon brawl from a Western film: shocked spectators, bleeding heads, teeth punched out. In this case, the culprit was not the quick-witted Bud Spencer, but the ball that flew high and wide shortly before the end of the game between Schluderns and Ulten. The victims, on the other hand, are two Ultner actors who attacked the ball with full force and rattled their heads together in the air. The diagnosis in the hospital: Patrick Egger suffered a cut that had to be sewn with nine stitches. Alexander Somvi, on the other hand, lost a tooth and suffered a concussion. Ouch - and get well soon.
