Fast start into the match

Austria Wien wanted to win this match; you could see that right from the start. Christoph Monschein fought his way through on the left, his great cross was pushed out of the dangerous area by Christoph Riegler before Alon Turgeman could reach it (3’). After a pass by Max Sax, Monschein got around the SKN goalie, but the angle was too sharp (5’). SKN started with a shot against the bar by Manuel Haas after a cross by Luxbacher - luck for the ‘Violets’ (14’). Afterwards, however, it was the home team’s turn again: Max Sax volley went over the goal, a hard shot by Christoph Monschein after assist by Turgeman went just past the near post (18’, 19’). Patrick Pentz turned a shot by Ingolitsch over the crossbar - it had turned into an open game (22’).

After a combination over today's captain Florian Klein and Max Sax, Monschein lifted the ball over Riegler, but unfortunately also over the goal (30’). Christoph Monschein also had the last chance in the first half, but missed a difficult pass by Sax (39’). The half time break started without any goals.

Four goals in the second half

A well-placed free-kick by Dominik Prokop landed in the wall, the following corner gave Alexandar Borković a chance, but his header went over the bar (55'). The guests from Lower Austria took the lead in the 57th minute, Luan pressed the ball over the line after a free-kick by Ambichl. But the equalizer didn’t take long. A volley by Florian Klein Riegler could still be saved, but the St. Pöltner goalie was powerless against the strong follow-up shot by Alon Turgeman - 1-1 (59’).

The ‘Violets’ - in particular Alon Turgeman - still didn’t have enough: Christoph Monschein came to a fall during a duel, Turgeman did not hesitate long and brought Austria Wien into the lead with a placed shot from the edge of the penalty box - 2-1 (70’). Monschein had the chance to make the preliminary decision, Riegler remained the winner in the one-on-one duel (73’).

Ibertsberger made a double exchange in the 75th minute, Uroš Matić and Manprit Sarkaria came into match for Jimmy Jeggo and Cristián Cuevas. Unfortunately, the almost 8,000 fans in the Generali-Arena had to watch the equalizer shortly after, Michael Ambichl scored with a deflected shot after a counterattack over Balic - 2-2 (77’). With Bright Edomwonyi for Max Sax, Ibertsberger made his last move. The Nigerian - only a few seconds on the pitch - headed over the goal after a corner by Matić (84’). A shot by Dominik Prokop was deflected to the corner (87’), Turgeman had the last chance of the match: However, the header of the two-time scorer, was too central, all efforts of the ‘Violets’ were unsuccessful. Austria Wien had to settle for the 2-2 against spusu SKN St. Pölten.
