Premier goal in the derby - Bravo Lukas Mühl

The 333rd Viennese derby began in a very scattered manner, Austria had more possession, Rapid won the majority of the duels. The visitors had the first small chances, but Taxiarchis Fountas and Maximilian Ullmann missed the goal (13th, 21st). Austria found it difficult to get into the game offensively, but took the lead in the 33rd minute. Noah Ohio could only be stopped by Maximilian Hofmann by a foul. After the free kick from the right side, the ball came to Eric Martel, whose cross reached Lukas Mühl, who was completely free. The centre-back scored through the legs of Paul Gartler to make it 1:0.

Manfred Fischer took a difficult ball on the volley, but the shot was too central (38th). Referee Harald Lechner blew the whistle for the half-time break with a pleasing intermediate score.

Rapid equalised

The second half began inauspiciously, SK Rapid managed to equalise. Srđan Grahovac received a relatively unhindered cross and Marco Grüll scored against the direction of Patrick Pentz to make it 1-1 (47th). The game continued to be a chanceless affair, Manfred Schmid made his first substitution after an hour: Muharem Husković came on for Noah Ohio. Alexander Grünwald replaced Dominik Fitz 15 minutes before the end. In between there was a shot by Johannes Handl, which was no problem for Gartler (72.). On the other side, the 23-year-old centre-back saved a chance by Grüll (77). Lukas Mühl - weakened by flu - could not continue, Christian Schoissengeyr replaced the scorer.

Muharem Husković had a chance on the counterattack in the 86th minute, Gartler parried the finish. A minute later, a header by Johannes Handl landed in the hands of the Rapid goalkeeper.
