A goalless draw against Admira

In the last home game of the 'Violets' in the Ernst Happel Stadium Coach Thomas Letsch changed up the team again. In the back four, Alexandar Borkovic celebrated a comeback after muscular problems and Thomas Salamon started - in view of the upcoming season - instead of Stefan Stangl.

In the midfield, our coach trusted in Tarkan Serbest in the defensive role, Vesel Demaku and captain Alexander Grünwald and Dominik Prokop behind the two striker Felipe Pires and Kevin Friesenbichler. Raphael Holzhauser initially remained on the bench due to his decision to leave Austria Wien.

Admira coach Ernst Baumeister changed his team on two positions: Auwu played instead of Ebner on the left in the back four and Max Sax, who will be a 'Violet' next season, started on the right in the midfield.

Austria Wien clearly superior

After the important victories during the past weeks did not happen and there was no chance for the Europa League qualification, the 'Violets' were able to play freely. Thomas Salamon had the first shot after a corner kick by Alexander Grünwald (7'). Especially Felipe Pires was unstoppable on the left side and was very dangerous. His first shot after a pass by Dominik Prokop was not strong enough (27').

Shortly after Pires came to a finish after a header by Friesenbichler, after a foul on him just outside the penalty area Michael Madl shot the free-kick but the goal. Austria Wien was impressively superior during this phase, almost 80% possession of the ball and 80% won duels speak for themselves.

Admira came only once dangerously close to Patrick Pentz' goal, with a counterattack over Grozurek, his dangerous cross was cleared by the violet defense (37'). Just before the end of the first half, Dominik Prokop was hit by Vorsager in the penalty area, the referee did not give the due penalty-kick. Thus the half-time break began.

A balanced second half

After the break, the game remained intense, but was more open, because Admira repeatedly found ways to the goal with dangerous counterattacks. After a nice free-kick over Grünwald and Friesenbichler Admira's defense could save in dire need in front of Borkovic.

The most dangerous action of Admira happend in the penalty area after a corner. Thomas Letsch brought Raphael Holzhauser and Christoph Monschein for Serbest and Prokop to be even more offensive. Raphael Holzhauser had the best chance during the final minutes - but his shot bounced back from the inside of the bar (81'). Thomas Letsch tried everything a brought Venuto in the front, but ultimately Austria Wien's last home game in the Ernst Happel Stadium ended with a goalless draw.
