SK Sturm Graz striker Ivica Vastic has become the club's all-time leading goalscorer after netting twice in Wednesday night's draw against FC Kärnten in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Record breaker
The 32-year-old Austria international scored his 117th goal for Sturm, taking him past Gernot Jurtin's tally of 116 achieved during the 1980s.
20 in 21
Ronald Brunmayr, of city rivals Grazer AK, also had a personal record to celebrate on Wednesday. The forward scored the fourth goal in his side's 4-1 win over SV Ried, taking his total for the season to 20 in just 21 games - the 26-year-old's best-ever tally for a season.
Up to second
His previous record was 19 goals for Ried during the 1999/00 campaign. Grazer's win saw them overtake Sturm and move up to second place in the table ahead of Sunday's derby clash between the two sides at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadion.
