In the 2. Liga match between SV Austria Salzburg and SKN St. Pölten on 20 September 2025, a tightly contested battle unfolded with SKN St. Pölten emerging victorious with a 2-1 win. The home team opened the scoring in the second half, but SKN St. Pölten retaliated with two late goals demonstrating impressive resilience. The visiting team capitalized on their higher number of corner kicks (7 to 1) and maintained pressure on Austria Salzburg, which proved crucial in their comeback victory.

Austria Salzburg faced significant disciplinary challenges, which had a profound impact on their performance. Accumulating 16 fouls to St. Pölten's 8, and receiving two yellow cards in the first half set a troubled tone. A critical turning point was the red card for Salzburg which not only reduced their defensive solidity but also psychologically boosted the visitors. St. Pölten smartly leveraged this numerical advantage, maintaining composure and avoiding any red cards themselves, which played into their strategic victory.

Teamwork dynamics played a central role in shaping the match outcome. St. Pölten showcased superior cohesion, particularly in their defensive organization and transitional play, as evidenced by their ability to capitalize on Salzburg's fouls and card disadvantage. Despite being flagged offside twice, their proactive approach in attack—demonstrating patience with a higher corner kick count—paid dividends. Conversely, Austria Salzburg's inability to manage aggression and transition under pressure hampered their attempts to consolidate the early lead and ultimately tipped the scales in favor of the visitors.
