Disappointing defeat in St. Pölten

Abdul Mohammed Kadiri and Raphael Holzhauser were suspended after the game against WAC, Thorsten Fink had to make some changes in his line-up again. Marco Stark made his starting line-up debut in the central defense alongside captain Tarkan Serbest. David de Paula and Abdullahi Ibrahim Alhassan started in the defensive midfield. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, Dominik Prokop and Felipe Pires together with Kevin Friesenbichler formed the offensive line.

Oliver Lederer stared with Mehmedovic and Entrup instead of Ingolitsch and Riski, after the clear defeat against Altach.

No goals before the half-time break

SKN St. Pölten started ambitiously, Osman Hadzikic was tested in the fifth minute with a free kick by Ambichl. A header by Entrup missed the goal (8'). The “Violets” had their first chance through Tajouri-Shradi, but after an assist by Pires, our number 7 got into a supine position and shot over the goal (9'). A deflected shot by Entrup went past the goal (11'). After a foul on Pires, Tajouri-Shradi shot the free-kick, Friesenbichler tipped the ball into the goal, but was standing offside (13').

Hadzikic parried a shot by Schütz, who was standing free – until then the best chance of a goal (32'). Tajouri-Shradi made a good counterattack on Friesenbichler, but his scoop went over the goal (35'). A shot by Hofbauer (43') ended the first half, which was largely determined by the host.

Hofbauer scored from the penalty spot

The second half started without a line-up change and with a finish by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi. The winger racer brought the ball into the middle of the field, but missed the goal (52'). A cross by Pires did not find a receiver (57'). Bajrami shot over the goal (58'). In the 59^th minute referee Altmann gave a penalty shot after an attack on Schütz by Hadzikic, Hofbauer utilized - 1-0 for SKN St. Pölten (60').

Thorsten Fink responded with a double exchange, Christoph Monschein and Manprit Sarkaria came into the game for Dominik Prokop and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi (66'). The “Violets” were hardly in the game i.a. because of pressure by St. Pölten. Riegler had to intervene during a cross by Sarkaria (80'), a long shot from Pires went over the goal (83'). Fink brought Jinhyun Lee for David de Paula. Huber had the chance to extend the lead in minute 88 after a corner, but shot just over the goal from a few meters.

FK Austria Wien did not make a shot on the “Wolves’” goal during the game, SKN celebrated their first victory of the season against the disappointed Viennese.
