Victory against WAC despite being outnumbered

Thanks to a dramatic second half, FK Austria Wien won 2-1 against WAC. Friesenbichler levelled Drescher's lead, Holzhauser scored after Kadiri had to leave the field after a foul, during stoppage time the “Violets” scored the winning goal.

Compared to the 1-5 defeat in Milan, FK Austria Wien had even more players on their injury-list: Alexandar Borkovic (thigh problems), Ismael Tajouri Shradi and Christoph Monschein both fell ill. Because of the “Österreicher-Topf-Regelung” (Austrian-Pot-Regulation) only 6 players could sit on the bench and Venuto’s comeback had to be postponed. Osman Hadzikic was again given preference in the goal over Patrick Pentz. For WAC Ouedraogo started today instead of the injured Orgill.

Wolfsberg with advantages

The “Violets” had the first concrete chance during the game: A corner by Raphael Holzhauser from the right, Friesenbichler comes to a header by the first pole, but the ball goes over the goal (6'). Osman Hadzikic has to stretch properly after a long shot by Wernitznig (17')

Even though Austria had advantages in the beginning of the game, the Carinthian kept coming better in the game and came to three more chances. First a header on Ouedraogo - the ball is deflected next to the goal (35'). Three minutes later Offenbacher makes a long shot after a counterattack, which is no threat to the violet-goal. The most dangerous chance for the Carinthian just before the half-time break: corner by Offenbacher from the right, in the middle Drescher comes to a header but Hadzikic parried. Goalless the teams went into their dressing rooms.

Pure drama during the second half

The second half was hard to beat in drama. WAC came with a lot of pressure out of the dressing room - initially a shot on the bar by Gschweidl distressed the “Violets”, only one minute later WAC scored their deserved lead: a cross from the left by Wernitznig, Drescher came to a free header in the middle. Osman Hadzikic did not have a chance (50')

The goal was a wake-up call for the “Violets”. After a bad shot by Kofler, Raphael Holzhauser sends Felipe Pires on his way, but his beautiful lob lands on top of the goal (54'). Shortly after FAK could equalize: Tarkan Serbest gets the ball after a corner, his low shot from an acute angle lands in the far corner - possibly slightly deflected by Kevin Friesenbichler (58').

The “Violets” now in key position. A little later, however, the next setback: Mohammed Kadiri was pressed by two WAC players, fouled and rightfully saw a red card (65'). As a result, an open exchange of blows: Gschweidl runs alone to the goal, is being forced aside by Hadzikic and cannot score from an acute angle. On the other side, substitute Ibrahim Alhassan makes a header after a free kick by Holzhauser, Kofler can steer the ball over the bar.

FK Austria Wien is looking for a decision, wins even during the second half and outnumbered more duels than their opponents –sometimes they could only help themselves through fouls (Result: 24-6). At first Tarkan Serbest can clear against Topcagic in dire need (87'). Under the category "corrective injustice" falls an attack by Gluhakovic in the penalty area as well as a foul on Felipe Pires in WAC’s penalty area, which both lacked a penalty shot.

When everyone was predicting a draw already, Holzhauser intervened in an attack, moved up far, was perfectly served by Felipe Pires and scored the winning goal for Austria.
