Thomas Letsch made one change in the starting line-up, Kevin Friesenbichler was able to play again and started up front alongside the former Admira players Christoph Monschein and Maximilian Sax. James Jeggo took his seat on the bench after his international game for Australia. Michael Madl was back in the squad for the first time after his hamstring in the thigh at the end of September. Austria Wien started in a 4-3-3 system and acted more offensive than during the last game against Red Bull Salzburg.
Admira’s new coach Reiner Geyer changed his starting 11 on two positions after losing 1-5 against LASK: Emanuel Aiwu and Milos Spasic replaced Lukas Malicsek and Marcus Maier.
The ‘Violets’ started the game very well, took over command right away. Cristian Cuevas made the first shot after a free-kick but it went over the goal (14'). On the other side, the Dane Morten Hjulmand was in a good position for a shot, but his finish failed terribly (19'). Shortly after, Kevin Friesenbichler extended a shot by Maximilian Sax, and scored the violet lead with a header into the far corner (20').
Austria Wien had the game under control with almost two-thirds of ball possession. A shot by Florian Klein was blocked by the Admira back-team (35'), otherwise highlights were rather rare. With the tight lead, the teams went into their dressing rooms.
After a free-kick by Uroš Matić, Vesel Demaku had the first chance of the second half, but his header missed the goal (47'). Demaku also had a nice chance shortly after but his shot was too high (50'). Admira used one of their few chances, Pyry Soiri scored the equalize after a cross by Spasic (55').
With a header Max Sax took over a cross by Christoph Monschein, but failed on Andreas Leitner (57'). After a nice pass from Matić a finish by Monschein was blocked to the corner (61'). Thomas Letsch brought with Bright Edomwonyi instead of Vesel Demaku another striker in the game. In his very first action, the Nigerian gets awarded a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area. Maximilian Sax stepped up and turned directly over Leitner into the far corner for the renewed violet lead (64').
Michael Madl made his comeback after 74 minutes, the central defender replaced Cuevas. James Jeggo came just before the end for Christoph Monschein. A shot by Sahanek went over the goal (88'), Austria Wien protected their victory during the final minutes and moved up to fifth place in the standings.
