1:1 – Austria makes important point in Altach

After three victories in a row there was no reason for Coach Thorsten Fink to make any changes to his team. Only Lukas Rotpuller had to be replaced in the internal defence after his dismissal during the last game. Abdul Kadiri Mohammed took the position next to Petar Filipovic.

Altach, without victory in the past six games, had to do without Zech, Netzer and Lukse because of injuries, and Salomon was suspended because of his fifth yellow card. Coach Martin Scherb brought Kobras in the goal, Zwischenbrugger in the defence as well as Schreiner and Dovedan in the offensive.

Fast game causes a 1:1 before the break

Austria took over command from the start with two-thirds ball possession and a pass rate of over 90%. The first opportunity prepared Raphael Holzhauser with a wonderful cross to Larry Kayode, Altach goalkeeper Kobras saved in the last second (10'). Our goal-getter barely missed a ball into the box by Christoph Martschinko (13'). After a technical delight by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, Jens Stryger Larsen again served Larry Kayode, whose spectacular overhead kick went over the goal (14'). Kobras turned a shot by Tajouri-Shradi to a corner (15'), after which Kadiri came to a finish, but missed the goal (16') - chances every minute for the “Violets”. Tajouri-Shradi nudged the ball into the box, Alexander Grünwald extended per head, Larry Kayode fired over the goal – a pass to Grünwald would have been the better option (20').

"Goals you do not make, you get," an old footballer phrase confirmed itself once again. After an unsuccessful pass from Holzhauser Altach came to a counterattack, Zwischenbrugger served Dovedan, who scored the surprise lead for the hosts (24'). Osman Hadzikic held a free-kick by Schreiner, for the first time our goalkeeper had to intervene (34'). The goal broke the “Violets” game, but during Altach’s strongest phase, the Viennese scored the equalizer. Larry Kayode scored by head after a great cross from Tajouri-Shradi - 1:1 - his 14th goal of the season (39'). Both teams neutralized by break time.

Hadzikic saves the 1:1

Martin Scherb had to make a change, Sakic came into the game for the injured Galvao. Altach started better after the break and got a free-kick from the edge of the penalty area after a foul by Larsen on Luxbacher. The Dane is suspended in the next game against SV Ried, just as Filipovic, Dovedan put the free kick just by the bar (51'). After a counterattack over Felipe Pires, Tajouri-Shradi missed from a promising position (57').

Austria was under pressure, Hadzikic saved a shot from Ngamaleu (61'). A volley from Lienhart went in the side netting (63'), before Ossi Hadzikic made beautiful saves against Lienhart and Janeczek (66', 67'). After this, the Viennese found better into the game, Alexander Grünwald put a header after a cross from Martschinko next to the bar (74'). Zwischenbrugger cleared a shot from Pires in front of the line (78'). Altach responded with an overhead kick from Dovedan (80').

Thorsten Fink brought David de Paula, Kevin Friesenbichler and Thomas Salamon during the final minutes. In a very rough final phase, both teams did not get any significant chances. The game ended with a fair 1:1.
