0-1 – No points in Carinthia

FAK coach Thomas Letsch didn’t make any changes to his starting line-up after a thrilling opening victory against Wacker Innsbruck, as well as WAC coach Christian Iltzer (3-4 defeat against SKN St. Pölten). FAK’s Christoph Monschein was able to take a seat on the bench after a torn muscle fiber in the thigh and two goals for the Young Violets.

Due to heavy rain, the kick-off had to be postponed by 30 minutes, but the pitch was in good condition afterwards.

Strong start, but no goal!

Austria Wien started strong, the 75% ball possession in the initial phase spoke for their dominance. Kevin Friesenbichler had the first chance of the game, after assist by Dominik Prokop, his lob went over the goalkeeper but unfortunately also over the goal (7’). A shot by Uros Matic was deflected to the corner by Michael Novak. A well-rehearsed corner-kick by Prokop over Alexander Grünwald and Alon Turgeman landed back with the youngster, who barely missed the goal with his shot on the short corner (11’). Alexander Kofler parried a shot by Grünwald, the captain's follow up shot bounced off the pole (15’).

WAC didn’t show much in the offensive, their biggest chance by Dever Orgill was only made possible because of a mistake by the violet defense: Patrick Pentz and Igor - who had fought 15 games for today's opponent during the spring – made the save together (25’). Afterwards the game flattened out a bit, in the 35^th minute the ‘Violets’ became dangerous with a corner again: A cross by Grünwald landed with Turgeman, who took on the ball beautifully out of a turn but shot wide over the goal. An attack by Marcel Ritzmaier on Uros Matic in the penalty area was not punished by referee Oliver Drachta (45’), without any goals the teams went into the half-time break.

Sollbauer scored for Wolfsberg’s victory

The second half started without any changes and with a shot by Grünwald, which was blocked. The follow-up shot by Friesenbichler went over the goal (52’). After that, the hosts became stronger: Ritzmaier missed after assist by Orgill, Marc Andre Schmerböck’s shot went over the goal (54’, 59’). On the other side Turgeman failed from an acute angle on Kofler (60’), the Israeli was replaced by Venuto afterwards.

A flat cross by Friesenbichler went past friend and foe (67’), Pentz fended off a shot by Schmerböck (69’). Wolfsberger AC scored with their first corner-kick to their surprising lead, Michael Liendl assisted, Michael Sollbauer scored with a header – 1-0 (72’). The supposed equalizer by Uros Matic was disallowed by Drachta because of a questionable foul (77’).

Letsch put everything on one card and brought Bright Edomwonyi and Christoph Monschein, however the equalizer didn’t want to happen. Austria Wien lost 0-1 against WAC.
