Promoted side Austria Lustenau earned a valuable point on the road, holding Sturm Graz to a 1-1 draw in the Austrian Bundesliga. The result prevented Sturm Graz from temporarily seizing the league's top spot. The home team, Sturm Graz, came from behind after an early setback but ultimately could not secure the win.

Dominik Weixelbraun put the visitors ahead in the 10th minute, stunning the home crowd. Sturm Graz, the league's vice-champion, struggled to find an equalizer until the 65th minute when Seedy Jatta converted a penalty awarded after a VAR review. This goal salvaged a point for the Graz-based club.

While Sturm Graz remains undefeated in the league, this draw means they are now one point behind the current co-leaders, Rapid and LASK. Crucially, Sturm Graz has played one more match than both of those teams, making the missed opportunity to claim the top position more significant.
