Linz AG Claims Championship Title Nine Days After Cup Victory

Linz AG Froschberg claimed the national double. Just nine days after lifting the national cup, the Linz team also triumphed in the Bundesliga final, defeating hosts Kufstein with a commanding 4–0 victory.

“Today I’m really satisfied. I played well, and we handled the pressure. I’m happy to have played a few matches in the Bundesliga and the Cup. Next year, I hope to get more appearances, especially looking toward the Champions League,” beamed Linz AG Froschberg star Britt EERLAND after her clear 3–0 win against Danielle Florence KELLY.

Earlier, Ivana MALOBABIC had put Linz in the lead with a 3–1 win over SU Pei-Ling. Suthasini SAWETTABUT then extended the visitors’ advantage with an impressive 3–1 win over Arantxa COSSIO.

“Sawettabut delivered a top-class match against Cossio. The wonderful crowd enjoyed a great show in Kufstein,” said Linz AG head Günther RENNER, impressed by the final and the atmosphere.

 The two-time Champions League winners then sealed the title with a 3–1 doubles win by Suthasini SAWETTABUT/Ivana MALOBABIC, wrapping up the match at 4–0 and securing their tenth consecutive national title. It marked the 24th league championship overall for the Linz club.

Despite the defeat, Kufstein club president Hermann MOSER was pleased:

“We were very nervous, but we had our chances in three of the four matches. We knew we were the clear underdogs. Still, we’re celebrating the first runner-up title in our club’s history.”
