1:2 – Disappointing defeat against Astra Giurgiu

Petar Filipovic returned to the team instead of Richard Windbichler, otherwise Thorsten Fink brought the winner team from the weekend.

Coach Marius Sumudica, currently unbeaten with Astra Giurgiu for the past eight games, was able to bring his goal maker Denis Alibec. Next to him the same team which was able to get one point against Viktoria Pilsen.

Defensive Romanians made it difficult for FK Austria WIen

Denis Alibec presented himself with the first shot in this game, which clearly missed his goal (5'). FK Austria Wien also made a good impression, a shot by Alexander Grünwald after the first corner was blocked (9'). Budescu tried a volley, Osman Hadzikic was on the spot (10'). Raphael Holzhauser sent Venuto on a journey, but in the end he clearly missed the goal (22'). After a shot by Larry Kayode, Grünwald was just one step short (25').

With more than 70% ball possession, FK Austria Wien tried to get through the Romanian 5-men-defense. Towards the end of the first half their chances got better but the final pass did not go through. Venuto forgave the best opportunity after great teamwork with Grünwald (44').

Turbulent second half without a happy end

The second half started with a fast free-kick by the visitors, but Teixera missed the resulting chance (47'). The “Violets” answered with a good shot from Holzhauser, Lung parried (48'). A free-kick by Raphael Holzhauser resulted in a corner. Holzhauser fired, the first attempt was blocked but the second cross was utilized by Lukas Rotpuller - 1:0 (57'). Astra Giurgiu was on the spot now, a shot from Budescu went by the goal, Hadzikic could have made the save though (63'). The “Violets” had an even harder time after the referee Raczkowski punished Alexander Grünwald with yellow/red card (65'). A shot from Budescu went on the bar (73'), shortly afterwards it happened: After a nice combination over several stations, Hadzikic parried after a shot from Alibec, but the ball landed with Florea and our keeper was powerless 1:1 (79'). Alibec's shot was blocked by Hadzikic (83'), before referee Raczkowski gave a penalty shot after a harmless check from Petar Filipovic against Florea. Budescu accepted the gift and turned the game around - 1:2 (88'). With one man down FK Austria Wien had to accept the defeat against Astra Giurgiu.
