Rene Gartler brought the home team into the lead with a penalty in the first half, Alexander Grünwald equalized in the 55th minute. Alon Turgeman turned the game during the stoppage time, the ‘Violets’ won 2-1 in St. Pölten.

Robert Ibertsberger gave Ivan Lučić a chance to prove himself in St. Pölten, Patrick Pentz took a break. Michael Madl returned to the team and replaced Alexandar Borković in the central defence. Christoph Martschinko started on the left wing, Vesel Demaku next to Uroš Matić in the central midfield. Alexander Grünwald started on the right attacking position. Max Sax fell ill and couldn’t play, Dominik Prokop was also ill during the week and remained on the bench for the time being. Thomas Ebner was in the squad for the first time this year.

Martin Rasner and Rene Gartler returned to SKN St. Pölten’s team, Roko Mislov and Daniel Schütz took a seat on the bench.

SKN took the lead with a penalty

Alon Turgeman started on the left side, two good crosses were defused by Christoph Riegler during the early stage (2’, 6’). Ranko Popovic had to make his first exchange after seven minutes, Daniel Schütz replaced the injured Robert Ljubicic. After a nice combination over Florian Klein and Alon Turgeman Christoph Monschein appeared in front of St. Pölten’s goal, Sandro Ingolitsch made the save at the last moment (11’). Christian Schoissengeyr headed after a cross by Grünwald, Riegler was on the spot (13’).

Austria Wien was clearly superior with almost 70% possession, but SKN St. Pölten took the lead. Florian Klein got the ball on his hand from close range by Manuel Haas and referee Christian-Petru Ciochirca decided on a penalty. Rene Gartler scored with the first shot – 1-0 for the home team (28’).

Afterwards, it was the ‘Violets’ turn again. Riegler had little trouble with a shot by Grünwald (33’). To save a finish by Martschinko the St. Pölten goalie had to put in more effort but was able to turn the ball over the bar (37’). A clear handling of the ball by Ingolitsch in St. Pölten’s penalty area was not punished by Ciochirca (41’), a header by Christian Schoissengeyr after a wide free-kick by Grünwald went over Riegler on the bar (45’+2’). Bad luck for Austria Wien, with the tight residue the break started.

Grünwald and Turgeman turned the game!

SKN St. Pölten started the second half with a free-kick by Michael Ambichl, Daniel Petrovic put the header close to the goal (47’). The same situation on the other side: Free-kick by Grünwald - header by Schoissengeyr - Riegler parries (53’). Austria Wien scored the well-deserved equalizer in the 55th minute: In his 250th tipico Bundesliga game Alexander Grünwald pressed the ball over the line after a cross by Alon Turgeman – 1-1.

Ivan Lučić was on the spot twice after free-kicks by Michael Ambichl (64’, 74’). Ibertsberger replaced Vesel Demaku with Dominik Prokop (77’), Bright Edomwonyi came for Christoph Monschein (81’). Lučić fished a long-range shot by Rasner out of the corner (81’), on the other side Schoissengeyr had his fourth chance with a header after a corner by Grünwald and an assist by Edomwonyi - but the ball was too high (82’). Edomwonyi failed on Riegler after a double pass with Prokop as well as Matić a little later (84’, 88’).

The stoppage time was actually already over, as events overturned in the NV Arena. Michael Madl was knocked down by Manuel Haas in the penalty area - penalty shot. Alon Turgeman stepped up, Christoph Riegler fended off the sharp shot. Madl brought the follow-up shot to the centre, Florian Klein extended, Alon Turgeman was standing in the right spot, the ball was in the goal – 1-2 (90’+4’). Austria Wien celebrated a late but well-deserved away win against spusu SKN St. Pölten.
