Runaway Austrian Bundesliga leaders FC Tirol Innsbruck crashed to their second defeat in four games as they went down 2-1 at FC Kärnten on Sunday.
Stary from the spot
Tirol, who are still eleven points clear at the top of the table, found themselves a goal down after Oliver Prudlo fouled Thomas Höller in the penalty area and Roman Stary converted the resultant spot-kick.
Own goal
Kärnten extended their lead in the 73rd minute when Roland Kirchler diverted Höller's teasing cross into his own net. And although Edi Glieder quickly pulled one back from close range, the closest Tirol came to an equaliser was another effort from Höller which struck the crossbar in the dying minutes.
