Captain Markus Suttner returned to the team and made his 300th competitive appearance for Austria. Before the game, he was honored by legend Karl Daxbacher and sporting director Manuel Ortlechner. Muharem Husković was absent from training recently and was therefore not in the squad this time. Can Keles moved into the starting eleven, but started on the left wing behind solo striker Marco Djuričin.

SV Ried still had to do without head coach Andreas Heraf, who continues to be out due to vocal cord problems. His replacement Christian Heinle made one change after the narrow defeat at SK Sturm: Murat Satin started in place of Nikola Stošić.

2:1 for Austria at half-time

After a first minor chance for the visitors (Seifedin Chabbi missed a cross from the right, 3rd), the Violets scored to take the lead: Manfred Fischer took heart and scored from just over 25 meters to make it 1:0 - Marco Djuričin provided the assist (4th). The joy did not last long, Chabbi scored after a double pass with Julian Wießmeier in the 9th minute to equalize. The young Austrian team stayed in it and a little later the lead was restored. After a dream cross from Leonardo Ivkić, Marco Djuričin broke away well from his pursuers and headed in thoughtfully for 2:1 (17th).

After that, the game calmed down a bit. Ried had more possession, Austria did not finish their counterattacking chances well enough. Murat Satin shot clearly over the goal after a cross from Wießmeier (30.), a header from Markus Lackner was scratched off the line by Patrick Pentz (38.). Lackner cleared an entry from Can Keles in his own penalty area, and after Markus Suttner's subsequent corner, Eric Martel put a header next to the goal (41.). The game went into the dressing room with a narrow lead for the Violets.

Keles and Teigl put the score at 4:1!

The second half began with a VAR check of a possible penalty foul on Leonardo Ivkić, but Alan Kijas in the video room could not find any offense (50th). Markus Suttner tried to surprise Samuel Sahin-Radlinger with a free kick from far out, but the Ried goalkeeper was on the spot (53rd). Shortly afterwards, Manfred Fischer held the ball up well, set up Can Keles, who slammed the ball into the net via the inside bar for 3:1 (54.).

Dominik Fitz replaced Matthias Braunöder after 68 minutes. A little later Noah Ohio came on for Marco Djuričin, Alexander Grünwald for Manfred Fischer. After a counterattack via Dominik Fitz, Keles came to finish but missed (81st). An attempt by Ohio was parried by Sahin-Radlinger (84th). Georg Teigl shot over the goal in the 88th minute after an assist from Martel, but a minute later he made it 4:1 after an assist from Noah Ohio!

Austria celebrated their first home win of the season at the Generali-Arena after 5 draws and moved up to fourth place in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga table.
