Grbic put the home team in the lead

Osman Hadzikic caught the ball before Gebauer after a long pass by Salomon, then parried a shot by Zwischenbrugger (26', 28'). Netzer came to a header after a corner by Nutz, but the ball went just past the goal (30'). Altach’s pressure phase was crowned by the 1-0 lead, Grbic scored after assist by Mahop in the 32^nd minute.

After the goal the “Violets” were a bit more offensive, Monschein missed an assist by Lee (34'). A shot by Felipe Pires just missed the far corner (36'), another shot landed with Kobras (43'). A free kick by Raphael Holzhauser, which went over the goal, ended the first half (45' + 2').

During the final minutes Toni Vastic celebrated his debut for Austria Wien’s A-team, he came for Gluhakovic. Dominik Prokop failed with a shot on Kobras (85'), on the other side Kadiri blocked three chances for Altach (86').
