Karl Kainberger
Karl Kainberger (born December 1, 1912 in Salzburg , † December 17, 1997 there ) was an Austrian football player . The striker won the silver medal with the Austrian amateur selection at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin .
Career
Karl Kainberger played together with his older brother Edi at the SAK 1914 in the Salzburg State League. At that time, the league was aimed at amateur players and was not connected to the professional Austrian championship, which at that time was limited to the Vienna area. With the Nonntalers, Karl Kainberger won the state championship several times and reached the final of the amateur state championships three times . Coach Jimmy Hogan took him to the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936, although he had not yet played a game for the Austrian amateur national team. After Josef Kitzmüller fell out of the semifinals against Poland due to injury after the scandalous game against Peru , Karl Kainberger stepped in for him in the left connector position and also scored a goal in the 3-1 win. The striker was now also set up by Hogan for the Olympic final, which was lost 2-1 in extra time to Italy , and also prepared the only Austrian goal by Fuchsberger in the final.
Controversy over the final goal
In many sources, including in newspapers immediately after the game, both Karl Kainberger and Fuchsberger are incorrectly named as goalscorers. However, film recordings of this game show that the ball was hit forward by Walter Werginz , came from the back of Kainberger and an Italian defender to Franz Fuchsberger , who hit the ball with a powerful shot just before the five-meter space in the upper right corner shot in sharply. He also said this to the Salzburger Nachrichten a year before his death in an interview in 1996.
