VIENNA, AUSTRIA — Moses Usor delivered a standout performance to inspire LASK to a dramatic 4-2 victory over SCR Altach after extra time, securing a historic Austrian Cup triumph and ending a 61-year wait for the title.
The final, played on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Vienna, began with early pressure from Altach, who stunned LASK by scoring within the opening five minutes to take immediate control of the match.
LASK, however, responded quickly through Usor, who calmly finished in the 11th minute to restore parity and shift momentum back toward his side.
Despite that response, Altach regained the lead before halftime when Vesel Demaku found the net in the 30th minute, sending LASK into the break trailing 2-1.
Determined to overturn the deficit, LASK returned for the second half with renewed intensity, pushing forward in search of an equaliser while maintaining pressure on their opponents.
Their persistence paid off in the 66th minute when Samuel Adeniran scored to make it 2-2, setting up a tense and closely contested finish to normal time.
With neither side able to find a winner before the final whistle, the match proceeded into extra time, where LASK began to assert greater control and energy.
The breakthrough came when George Bello, an Abuja-born United States international, scored to give LASK a 3-2 lead, marking their first advantage of the match.
The goal proved decisive, as it shifted the balance firmly in LASK’s favour and increased pressure on Altach to respond.
Shortly after, Adeniran struck again to extend the lead to 4-2, effectively sealing the victory and sparking celebrations among players and supporters.
The triumph represents a landmark achievement for LASK, ending more than six decades without Austrian Cup success and marking a new chapter in the club’s history.
Usor’s performance has further elevated his profile, with his consistent displays attracting attention beyond club football.
Reports indicate that Nigeria national football team selectors, led by coach Eric Chelle, are closely monitoring his progress ahead of future international call-ups.
The victory not only highlights LASK’s resilience but also underscores the growing impact of Nigerian players on the European stage.
As attention turns to upcoming competitions, Usor’s rising influence continues to position him as a player to watch in both club and international football.
