SCR Altach wins the first Bundesliga game of 2026 with 1:0 against Blau-Weiß Linz. Mohamed Ouedraogo scores the winning goal. The Rheindörfler set their positive run and celebrate a crucial win at the start of the 2026 Bundesliga season. Against bottom-placed Blau-Weiß Linz, the SCR Altach secured a deserved 1-0 home win and three valuable points despite being down to 10 men in the final phase. The game was intense and fiercely contested, with few scoring opportunities on both sides, but the over 5,000 spectators in the Schnabelholz stadium were treated to passionate Bundesliga football. In the 69th minute, Ognjen Zaric reacted for the first time from the sidelines: Precious Benjamin came on for the slightly injured Ousmane Diawara. Just seconds later, Vesel Demaku had the best chance of the second half, but his sharp shot after a clever turn in the penalty area was just over the bar. The final quarter of an hour had to be played by SCR Altach with a man down. Mohamed Ouedraogo, already warned in the first half, got in the way of a shot from Nico Mantl and was hit in the back. Referee Jäger assessed the action as intentional and showed the striker the yellow-red card. Blau-Weiß Linz tried to make the most of the numerical advantage in the final phase. In the 81st minute, it became precarious as Fofana came close to scoring, but Stojanovic deflected the central shot. Five minutes later, the Altacher goalkeeper was on the spot with a side-footed shot from Ronivaldo.
