2:0 - Derby-victory in Hütteldorf

Jens Stryger Larsen was available to Thorsten Fink after adductor problems. Our coach could start the 321st Vienna Derby with his “favourite eleven”, but this time with a 4-1-4-1 system.

The new team coaches of SK Rapid, Goran Djuricin and Martin Bernhard, also only made one change in the starting line-up. Max Wöber took a seat on the bench, and Mario Sonnleitner began in the central defence.

Venuto’s goal and severe injury

A very tough derby with initial advantages for the hosts had everyone waiting for the first goal chance, but then the “Violets” found one: After a cross from Raphael Holzhauser after double pass with Felipe Pires, Venuto was hindered by Szanto, the follow-up shot by Tarkan Serbest was blocked by Dibon (15'). However, the 1500 FK Austria Wien fans did not have to wait long for the “Violets’” lead. Felipe Pires conquered a cross from Pavelic, passed to Larry Kayode, whose cross Venuto just had to put over the line - 0:1 (22').

Unfortunately, the goal scorer injured himself shortly after on the knee and was replaced by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi in minute 27. Knoflach destroyed another big chance for the “Violets”, after a cross by Pires he saved the ball just before it reached Larry Kayode (35').

Although SK Rapid had more ball possession, they found their first small chances only at the end of the first half. A shot from Pavelic missed the goal (40'), Osman Hadzikic parried a ball from Szanto (42') as well as a failed cross from Pavelic (43'). With that, the first half ended with a deserved lead for FK Austria Wien.

Felipe Pires - man of the game

The second half began with a game interruption because of dense fog from Rapid’s sector. Austria was not impressed and increased their lead in minute 56 – 0:2. Wöber, who just replaced Sonnleitner, served Raphael Holzhauser, who sent Felipe Pires on a journey. The Brazilian shot past Knoflach to his 3^rd goal of the season. R

apid tried their luck especially with long-range shots, there was no coming through Lukas Rotpuller’s and Petar Filipovic's well-organized defense. Wöber's long shot went past the goal (62'), Osman Hadzikic parried a deflected attempt by Szanto (65'). In between Kayode came to a stumble during a well-played counter-attack against Wöber (64'). Dibon came to a header-chance after a corner, but missed the goal (72'). A long-shot from Auer went over the goal. After groundwork from Alexander Grünwald Larry Kayode missed another chance during a counterattack (80').

Already during stoppage time, Murg shot a free-kick from the penalty area on the bar (90' + 1'). Szanto missed the last chance of the home team, he had already overcome Hadzikic, but did not score the ball in the empty goal (90' + 2'). Again the “Violets” won in Hütteldorf 2:0 and climbed to second place of the tipico-Bundesliga table – with 19 points more than the city rivals!
