1:2 - defeat in Wolfsberg

Defender Lukas Rotpuller was out of action with thigh problems for today's game, Abdul Mohammed Kadiri and Petar Filipovic build the central defender duo. Jens Stryger Larsen returned to the starting line-up instead of David de Paula after his suspension.

WAC coach Heimo Pfeifenberger changed his team on four positions after the defeat against Admira. Zündel, Sollbauer and Hüttenbrenner started in the back four chain, Orgill replaced Prosenik as striker.

Turbulent first half

The game began with a medical emergency on the stand and 23 minutes delay, but with a bombshell. Orgill moved immediately after the kick-off onto Osman Hadzikic’s goal, Kadiri rescued with an excellent tackle. However, referee Alexander Harkam saw a foul and gave a penalty shot after 16 seconds. Daniel Offenbacher took the opportunity and scored the 1:0 for the hosts (2').

FK Austria Wien needed some time to find in the game, with the first shot on goal Felipe Pires already made the equalizer. The 22-year-old Brazilian came to the ball in the midfield, shot from great distance and scored via the inside of the pole (13') - his fourth goal this season.

With the equalizer the Viennese took over command, Thomas Salamon tried from a similar position as Pires, but this time Kofler made the save (16'). A shot from Orgill from an acute angle did not pose a threat to Hadzikic (19'). After a free-kick by Raphael Holzhauser Larry Kayode came one step too late (23'), a shot by Alexander Grünwald after groundwork from Pires was blocked by Hüttenbrenner (24').

Larry Kayode could not use a great pass from Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, the Nigerian failed with the heel on Kofler (27'). The “Violets” did not give up, Grünwald headed a pass from Salamon on the bar, from the line the ball jumped back into the field (27'). Another cross from the very active outside defender landed with Kayode but the ball went over the goal (34').

Wolfsberg did not show much until the final minutes of the first half, a shot from Klem went past the goal (36'). Osman Hadzikic ended up with a cut after a collision with Ouedraogo but was able to keep playing with a head bandage.

Larry Kayode had the chance to equalize after a pass from Grünwald, but failed on Kofler afterwards Hadzikic saved against Orgill after a counterattack (45' + 5'). Ouedraogo had the last possibility of a very eventful first half, but the free standing striker did not hit the ball right (45' + 6').

However, Austria fell behind

During the half-time break Pfeifenberger brought Joachim Standfest for Stefan Palla, the first shot after the side-change came from Felipe Pires. Kofler parried the shot as well as a free-kick from Holzhauser a few minutes later (50', 53'). From nowhere, however, WAC took the lead again, when Tschernegg surprised Hadzikic from great distance - 2:1 (58').

The “Violets” were immediately planning on another equalizer, a long shot from Tarkan Serbest went over the goal, a finish from Tajouri-Shradi past the short corner (60', 61'). FK Austria Wienbecame even more offensively-minded afterwards, Thorsten Fink brought fresh forces with Kevin Friesenbichler, David de Paula and Marko Kvasina for Alexander Grünwald, Jens Stryger Larsen and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi. After good groundwork by Kadiri, Friesenbichler also came to a finish, but his shot missed the goal (77').

Shortly after the young striker came closer to the goal, but after a double pass with Kayode the ball went just by the goal (82'). Kofler saved a long shot from Kadiri (88'). Raphael Holzhauser showed the last action, his long shot went over the goal (90' + 6'). The “Violets” lose in Wolfsberg, nevertheless, thanks to Altach’s defeat in Mattersburg they are already qualified for next year's European Cup.
