Nigerian striker Moses Usor continued his impressive run of form on Friday night, turning in another standout display and scoring a vital goal as LASK lifted the Austria ÖFB Cup title.
With his side trailing early, Usor showed his trademark calm in front of goal, smashing in the equaliser that reignited the Black-Whites’ hopes.
Moses Usor’s goal sparks LASK’s fightback in tense Austria Cup final
LASK would go on to come from behind twice before eventually sealing a 4–2 victory over Altach at the Wörthersee Stadion.
The 24-year-old has now scored in three straight games—adding to his recent strikes against Sturm Graz, Hartberg, and now Altach.
In red-hot form, Usor has registered five goals and three assists in his last eight appearances, taking his tally for the season to 13 goals. Across all competitions, he now has 18 goal contributions in 33 matches, including five assists.
Usor played 83 minutes before being substituted for Krystof Danek. While he stole much of the spotlight, fellow Nigerian Precious Benjamin also featured, coming on in the 106th minute for Mike-Stephen Bahre, though he had limited influence with Altach already trailing by two.
The thrilling six-goal final demanded resilience from LASK, who rallied brilliantly to capture the Austria OFB Cup in dramatic fashion.
LASK attacks stronger in extra time
Altach shocked the favourites almost immediately, with Patrick Greil scoring in the 5th minute. Usor replied six minutes later, but Vesel Demaku restored Altach’s lead midway through the first half.
Samuel Adeniran initially thought he had scored, but VAR ruled it out for offside. He eventually got his reward just after the hour mark, firing in the 2–2 equaliser to force extra time.
LASK took charge from there. George Bello put them ahead 11 minutes into extra time after a neat pass from Kasper Jørgensen, and three minutes later, Adeniran added his second—set up by Sasa Kalajdzic—to seal the comeback win.
Altach’s fading hopes completely vanished when Marlon Mustapha was sent off in the 108th minute, just 13 minutes after coming on.
