The 2018/19 season started with the first round of the UNIQA ÖFB Cup. Namesake Austria XIII welcomed Austria Wien at the ‘Sportclub’ pitch. Coach Thomas Letsch relied on his best line-up, the ‘Violets’ began with the same line-up as against Borussia Dortmund. Only Kevin Friesenbichler was new in the starting eleven as the striker instead of Bright Edomwonyi. Thomas Ebner was able to play the opening game after his injury.
Austria XIII, last season's number nine in Vienna's city league and winner of the Vienna TOTO Cup, under coach Michael Keller started in a very defensive 5-3-2 system.
Austria Wien started extremely dominant, over 80% possession in the initial phase confirms this impression. Alexander Grünwald made the first warning shot in the 11th minute but missed. Shortly after the ball landed in the goal: After a great shift of the game by Thomas Salamon, Alon Turgeman assisted Kevin Friesenbichler, who pressed the ball over the line - 1-0 (12'). After a remarkable solo by Dominik Prokop his last pass did not find a taker (17').
Even after the goal Austria XIII remained very defensive, at least they had their first corner kick during the 32nd minute. Thomas Salamon took a ricochet shot volley in the penalty area, Dejan Pantovic parried in the goal of the hosts (39'). A shot by Uros Matic went passed the long corner (43'), an attempt by Friesenbichler was blocked by Pantovic (45' + 1') - thus the halftime break started with the tight lead.
Austria XIII changed their goalkeeper during the break, the only 16 -year-old Jakob Odehnal got his chance against the Bundesliga after his strong appearances in the Vienna TOTO Cup. However, Odehnal did not have to intervene during the first shot by Thomas Salamon (46'). A header by Turgeman after a cross by Matic went over the bar (51'). After an assist by Grünwald, Prokop went alone towards Odehnal, but his shot went just wide (52'). A finish by Turgeman after assist by Matic was the victim of the bad pitch in Dornbach (61'). A direct free-kick by Michael Madl went over the goal (65'), a finish by Florian Klein was parried by Odehnal (66'). Another shot by Salamon landed next to the goal (67') - the ‘Violets’ had to continue to wait for the 2-0.
Austria Wien kept their finger on the trigger, there were still opportunities every minute. A free kick by Grünwald was deflected to the corner by Odehnal (68'). Finally in the 71st minute the release, after a nice combination over Friesenbichler and Grünwald Alon Turgeman scored - 2:0.
Turgeman did his part, Venuto replaced the Israeli. Bright Edomwonyi came for Friesenbichler. Marlon Buck with the first shot towards Patrick Pentz in the 78th minute, but the ball went far over the goal. Grünwald with an assist for Salamon, the very offensive full-back missed the goal. Venuto was fouled by Robert Kresser in the penalty area, Uros Matic used the penalty shot - 3-0 (85'). Philip Epple prevented Venuto from scoring the 4-0 (90' + 2'), but Alexander Grünwald scored shortly after from a direct free-kick (90' + 3'). Austria Wien moved up safely into the second round of the UNIQA ÖFB Cup.
