Austria eliminated in the ÖFB Samsung Cup against Admira

Thorsten Fink took two changes in the starting eleven against Admira for the planned, but unfortunately unsuccessful revenge: Felipe Pires started instead of Jens Stryger Larsen in the right-back. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi took over the vacated place in the midfield. Kevin Friesenbichler started as striker, Larry Kayode took place on the bench for the time being.

Admira coach Damir Buric was forced to make a change. Maximilian Sax injured himself on Saturday and will fall out for six to eight weeks with a separated shoulder, Eldis Bajrami replaced him.

Turbulent first half

As seen in games before Admira let FK Austria Wien lead the game, but nevertheless took the lead after only 6 minutes. Monschein conquered a misplaced pass from Lukas Rotpuller, over Starkl and Zwierschitz the ball landed with Knasmüllner, who scored.

Osman Hadzikic was able to save a shot from Monschein from an acute angle (10'), before the “Violets” found their first goal chance: After a corner from Raphael Holzhauser Rotpuller headed the ball just by the goal (13'). In return, Admira increased to 0-2. Knasmüllner extended a wide pass from Ebner to Monschein, who finished from about 15 meters (14').

As bitter as the early setback was, there was still plenty of time to a catch-up. Alexander Grünwald knocked on Admira’s goal for the first time, his shot landed in the outer net (22'). After a free-kick from Holzhauser, the first step to equalize was there, Kevin Friesenbichler headed the important goal (34').

Raphael Holzhauser fired from the back – Leitner made the save (38'). In minute 41 Friesenbichler fell during a duel with Strauss, but referee Muckenhammer's whistle remained silent. After a cross from Tajouri-Shradi, Venuto came to the best chance to equalize until then, but the Brazilian missed from short distance (42'). An entertaining match went into the half-time break - 1:2.

The ball did not want to land in the goal

Raphael Holzhauser made Leitner prove himself immediately after the restart, the Admira goalie was barely able to save his deflected shot (47'). After a corner Holzhauser came to his next chance, but missed the goal this time (48'). The “Violets” pressed for the equalizer, Venuto overcame Leitner, but the ball rolled past Admira's goal (56'). Petar Filipovic failed with a shot out of full speed - too central (59').

Admira had to take Ebner out of the game after he injured himself, for him came Posch. Friesenbichler headed over the goal after a cross from Christoph Martschinko (68'), Rotpuller also failed by head after a corner from Tajouri-Shradi (73'). Martschinko played a beautiful double pass with Tajouri-Shradi, his finish was again saved by Leitner (76'). A shot from Venuto passed the long corner (80').

The equalizer would now be more than deserved, only during minute 83 Admira came to their first chance of the second half but Hadzikic saved twice against Monschein. Thorsten Fink risked everything and brought with Larry Kayode and Marko Kvasina for Venuto and Holzhauser two more strikers. But all efforts remained unaffected, Kvasina forego the last chance to equalize in minute 93. FK Austria Wien is eliminated in the quarter-finals of the ÖFB Samsung Cup.
