Kenyan forward Ryan Ogam was an unused substitute as his Austrian club Wolfsberger AC saw their seven-match unbeaten run come to an end in a 2–1 defeat to SV Ried. The match, played on Saturday, October 18, saw Wolfsberger take an early lead before a red card shifted the momentum and allowed SV Ried to complete a comeback.
Wolfsberger opened the scoring in the 20th minute through Dejan Zukic. The team looked composed and confident, dominating possession and pressing high. However, a red card issued to defender Dominik Baumgartner before halftime changed the game’s dynamics.
With only 10 men on the pitch, Wolfsberger struggled to maintain their defensive shape. SV Ried capitalized on the advantage, scoring twice in the second half to secure the win and end Wolfsberger’s impressive run.
Ryan Ogam, who recently scored for Harambee Stars in a World Cup qualifier against Burundi, was named among the substitutes but did not play. His absence from the pitch may have been due to recovery from international duty or tactical rotation.
Since joining Wolfsberger, Ogam has made appearances in Austria’s top flight and continues to build his profile in Europe. His involvement with the national team has also drawn attention from Kenyan fans eager to see him succeed abroad.
Wolfsberger had gone seven matches unbeaten prior to the SV Ried fixture. Their run included key wins and solid defensive performances, positioning them well in the Austrian Bundesliga standings.
