Coach Thomas Letsch made two changes after the 0-0 in Innsbruck: Thomas Salamon started on the left in the back four, while Christoph Monschein replaced the slightly ill Kevin Friesenbichler in the storm. Maximilian Sax was in the A-team’s squad for the first time this season.
FAC coach Oliver Oberhammer also made changes to two positions, remaining loyal to the last successful 5-4-1 system. Denis Bosnjak and Daniel Schöpf started instead of Maximilian Mayer and Burak Yilmaz.
The two newcomers in the starting line-up provided the early lead after just 67 seconds: Initiated by Dominik Prokop, Christoph Monschein used a cross by Thomas Salamon acrobatically to the 1-0 lead. FAC had their first opportunity through Schöpf, after a corner, but his shot went past the goal slightly deflected - Patrick Pentz would have been on the spot (6').
Florian Klein made a shot with his side foot after assist by Prokop but missed the goal (10'). The next assist also came from the captain, Monschein came just one step too late. The action was initiated with a nice pass from Thomas Ebner (14').
With two-thirds possession of the ball, Austria Wien barely let the guests into the game during the first half an hour, a shot by Uroš Matić ended in FAC’s defence (27'). Afterwards, the guests became stronger, central defender Christian Bubalovic had a good chance with a header after a free-kick by Andrej Todoroski (33'). Salamon prevented Mirnes Becirovic from a finish in a duel (38').
A shot by Klein was fended off by FAC’s defence, Thomas Ebner let the ricochet through, Ewandro finished thoughtfully – 2-0 (44'). In return FAC was able to score as well, a deflected shot by Adnrej Todoroski landed with Oliver Markout, alone in front of the goal Pentz had no chance (45'). Austria Wien’s goalkeeper parried the possible equalizer by Todoroski during stoppage time, the ‘Violets’ went into their dressing room with a narrow 2-1 lead.
The second half began without any changes. Ewandro came to a finish after a corner shot, but missed the goal (54'). Max Sax celebrated his debut in the 61st minute, the midfielder replaced Dominik Prokop and ensured a masterful debut: Sax ideally served Christoph Monschein in the centre after a long pass by Igor, the goal scorer didn’t hesitate and scored his second goal – 3-1 (65').
Kevin Friesenbichler came into the game for Ewandro and shortly after barely missed a cross by Monschein. The action was again initiated by Sax (69'). In a direct free-kick Friesenbichler just missed the chance on the fourth goal (80'). Vesel Demaku came in and was able to play for a few minutes, however this didn’t change the result.
Austria Wien entered the UNIQA ÖFB Cup quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory. Their next opponent will be drawn in the ORF program "Sport am Sonntag", the game date is February 16th/17th 2019.
