Well-deserved 2:0-victory against Admira

For FK Austria Wien there was no time to reflect after the defeat against Salzburg. Thorsten Fink relied on his usual 4-2-3-1 formation. This time Thomas Salamon started on the left of the defence. After two surprising victories in Salzburg and Graz, Admira was able to enter the game with much confidence.

The “Violets” started the game as usual - with lots of ball possession and a high pass rate - they let ball and the opponents run - initially without countable success.

The most dangerous opportunity in the opening phase, however, had Admira: After foul on Ebner Knasmüllner shot the free-kick just outside the penalty and failed only at the crossbar (20').

FK Austria Wien got dangerous for the first time in minute 26. A long shot from Salamon missed the goal. Towards the end of the first half, Austria increased the pressure, which resulted in a few fouls on the edge of the penalty box and dangerous free-kick opportunities.

First, it was Petar Filipovic, whose header, after a free-kick from Raphael Holzhauser, went over the goal (42'). Just before the break, Alex Grünwald fired a free-kick from the right towards the short corner but goalkeeper Leitner and the pole made the save. The break started with a 0:0.

High effort pays off

The second half began as the first ended: a lot of pressure from the “Violets”. The first good opportunity was a header from Filipovic, which Leitner could only control with effort over the bar. FK Austria Wien stayed on the trigger, Admira partially did not get out of their own half for minutes. A long shot from Holzhauser landed in Leitner’s hands (62').

Patience started to wane but then the overdue lead for the “Violets”: A free-kick from Holzhauser was extended by Admira’s Lackner onto the pole and Larry Kayode utilized the rebound 0:1 (69').

Shortly after Venuto wasted a chance, perfectly served by Kayode, almost all alone in front of the goal (75'). Grünwald failed with a long shot, Leitner reached the ball with his fingertips (79').

In the final phase FK Austria Wien scores the 2:0: After a foul on substitute Kevin Friesenbichler Raphael Holzhauser scores (88').
