Raguz' comeback goal: An emotional triumph after a long dry spell!

A warm welcome to the world of football, where stories often unfold in a single moment. On Saturday, November 8th, 2025, Marko Raguz, Wiener Austria's storm jewel, caused a stir by scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time to make it 2-1 against GAK. It was not only his first Bundesliga goal since February 2022, but also the crowning highlight of his return to action after a long injury break.

Raguz, who had to complain about a drought of more than three years and eight months without scoring in the top flight of the Bundesliga due to numerous injuries, was overjoyed after his goal. “It's an incredible feeling to score goals again,” he said in front of the cheering FAK dressing room, which was waiting in anticipation for the celebrations, while Raguz was available for interviews. Coach Stephan Helm recognized his player's achievements and praised his tireless work, despite the strong competition in Austria's attack.

The joker role and the pressure of competition

But in addition to being happy about the goal, Raguz also expressed dissatisfaction about his limited playing time so far this season. In the first few weeks he played less than 30 minutes without making a start. “It’s not funny,” said Raguz, as he reflected on how tough the fight for a place in the team is. The Viennese offensive is strong and the competition doesn't make it easy for him to gain a foothold.

Raguz emphasizes that he has been back in regular training for a year and a half and, despite the difficulties caused by his injuries, he is optimistic about the future. “It’s still possible,” he announced confidently. In any case, he sent a signal with a goal in the 91st minute and showed that he is ready to fight his way back in the Bundesliga.

Yesterday's match at the Generali Arena could prove to be a turning point in his career. Raguz embodied the comeback, which is important both for himself and for the entire team. He could now build on the success of the last game and the fans are excited to see whether he can carry the momentum into the coming games.

With his self-confidence regained, Raguz will certainly be more in demand than ever before in the near future. Football tells stories of comebacks and unforgettable moments, and yesterday was one of those unique days in a player's life. We will definitely stay tuned and follow how Marko Raguz's journey develops.
