LASK Linz has won the championship after 61 years and sensationally triumphed in Vienna. The Linzers have made the Double perfect. The big dream has finally become a reality after an endless drought of exactly 61 years. With a completely dominant and well-deserved 3-0 away win against Wiener Austria, LASK Linz has secured the championship title on the last decisive day of the Admiral Bundesliga. After the recently achieved triumph in the ÖFB Cup, the Linzer athletes have made the historic national Double perfect. This feat has only been achieved by the traditional club from Upper Austria once before in the distant, legendary season 1964/65, which makes the value of this current success even more impressive. Thousands of enthusiastic fans who traveled with the team turned the completely sold-out Generali Arena in the Vienna district of Favoriten into a deafening black and white arena. The tactically perfectly set team of coach Didi Kühbauer would have theoretically already been enough to secure the championship title with a single draw, to decisively keep the hard-pressed and stubborn pursuer Sturm Graz at a distance in the parallel duel. But the Linzers wanted to avoid any doubts about their dominance on the last day and instead put on a masterful, highly concentrated final on the sports pitch of the capital. The hosts from Vienna, who were still fighting for important points in the hard-fought European Cup race on the last day, presented themselves from the first minute as the expected unpleasant and extremely hard block. The 15,600 spectators in the cauldron experienced a fast, tactically highly skilled and extremely poisonous opening phase. The biggest chance for the lead for the Viennese was thwarted by the bear-like goalkeeper Lukas Jungwirth in the 26th minute with an absolute world-class performance, as he fished the ball out of the crossbar with a spectacular parade after a clever shot by Austria striker Jojo Eggestein. The relief for the nervous Upper Austrian nervous system finally came in the 38th minute of the game. After a confusing, hard-fought struggle in the Vienna penalty area, the advanced defender Xavier Mbuyamba kept his cool, calmly shot the ball into the long corner and scored the 1-0 lead. The entire packed away sector was in this moment completely head over heels, and the long-awaited championship title was suddenly within reach. After the change of sides, the guests from Upper Austria controlled the game with the remarkable composure and routine of a deserved champion. Already in the 50th minute, the Kühbauer team made the final decision in the stadium. After a clear foul in the opponent's penalty area, the unyielding referee Sebastian Gishamer showed no hesitation in pointing to the spot. The regular penalty taker Samuel Adeniran stepped up confidently and scored the decisive 2-0 with a cold and unstoppable penalty. The counter-attack of Wiener Austria was already completely extinguished in this phase, and the Linzer athletes could now focus on the last quarter of an hour of the game. In this phase, it became really tight for Wiener Austria, as left-back Philipp Wiesinger had a clear shot on the goal of LASK goalkeeper Lukas Jungwirth in the 84th minute. But the bear-like goalkeeper could also prove his class in this situation and fished the ball out of the crossbar with a spectacular parade. The Linzer athletes could now focus on the last minute of the game and secured the championship title after 61 years. Wiener Austria ended the game with a 3-0 away win and missed the championship title. LASK Linz celebrated the championship title after 61 years and made the Double perfect.
