Derby ends 1:1

Without any injuries a very good preparation phase of the “Violets” came to an end, Thorsten Fink could appoint his strongest eleven. Osman Hadzikic started in the goal, Jens Stryger Larsen, Lukas Rotpuller, Petar Filipovic and Christoph Martschinko built the back four. Tarkan Serbest and Raphael Holzhauser started in the defensive midfield, Venuto, Alexander Grünwald, Felipe Pires and Larry Kayode built the team’s offensive.

Under coach Damir Canadi SK Rapid came back in a 5-3-3-system. Knoflach started in the goal instead of the injured Strebinger, Kuen started on the left wing and Stefan Schwab celebrated his comeback after his injury during the last derby.

FK Austria Wien dominant, but goalless

After a forceful initial phase of the guests and a small chance by Schaub (5'), FK Austria Wien was increasingly taking over the game. A finish by Grünwald after groundwork from Pires was blocked (7'). With patient play structure the “Violets” were looking for a gap in the green-white 5 man defense but weren’t very lucky. On the other side of the field, the ball landed with Grahovac after a free-kick from Dibon, but the shot went on the pole (17'). A header from Filipovic after Holzhauser's free-kick missed Knoflach’s goal (19'). Raphael Holzhauser also provided the assist for another great chance for the “Violets”: After a pass by our playmaker, Larry Kayode hurried by Sonnleitner but was blocked by Dibon shortly before his finish (27').

SK Rapid got dangerous after a free-kick again, but Sonnleitner almost missed the free-kick cross from Schaub and the ball went by the goal (35'). Afterwards FK Austria Wien had the last chance of the first half: Alexander Grünwald sent Stryger Larsen on a journey, Kayode’s finish after the Dane's ball landed in the arms of Knoflach (40'). No goals during the first half.

Guests went in the lead with their only shot on goal

The second half of the game started with a goal by the visitors: Kvilitaia utilized a cross from Kuen by head, Hadzikic was powerless (55'). It could have gotten worse, but Lukas Rotpuller saved a shot from Joelinton (63'). Shortly after SK Rapid’s Brazilian saw his second yellow card for a foul on Larsen and had to leave the field (66'). Thorsten Fink brought fresh offensive forces with Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and Dominik Prokop for Venuto and Holzhauser, later also Kevin Friesenbichler for Kayode. Knoflach had some trouble with a long-range shot by Alexander Grünwald, but could secure the ball before Kayode (71'). Friesenbichler headed a corner from Pires just past the long corner (84'). Another header from Rotpuller after a cross from Grünwald did not find its way into the goal (87').

Lukas Rotpuller rescued the “Violets”

FK Austria’s’ power play during the final minutes brought the well-deserved equalizer: Alexander Grünwald extended a long ball to Lukas Rotpuller who pushed the ball over the line 1:1 (90' + 4'). The 320th Vienna Derby ended 1:1.
