Patrick Pentz had to intervene for the first time with a header from Atdhe Nuhiu in the 56th minute. Manfred Schmid brought on Georg Teigl and Muharem Husković for Leonardo Ivkić and Marco Djuričin 25 minutes from time.

After a foul on Husković, Markus Suttner took a free-kick from 20 metres, but Martin Kobras saved the well-taken ball (82nd). In the following action, Vesel Demaku was brought down in the penalty area. Referee Manuel Schüttengruber decided on a swallow and showed Demaku a very harsh yellow-red card (82nd).
