1:2 – Painful home defeat against Admira

Thorsten Fink put his hand deep into the rotary box, after all the overtime during the Cup against First Vienna FC seven fresh players came to the starting eleven. Robert Almer returned after his adductor problems to the “Violet’s” goal. New in the team Lukas Rotpuller and Thomas Salamon in the back four. Tarkan Serbest moved back to his usual position in the defensive midfield. In the offense Venuto, Alexander Grünwald and Kevin Friesenbichler started alongside Ismael Tajouri-Shradi.

Admira came with three clear defeats in the tipico-national league, but a victory in the Cup against Ritzing to the Ernst-Happel-Stadium. Coach Oliver Lederer started the game with the successful Cup team, triple scorer Christoph Monschein began again as the solo-striker.

Quick first half

FK Austria Wien began very dominant, 77% possession after 15 minutes. Already during minute 4 Friesenbichler had a chance to take the lead, his header after a cross from Tajouri-Shradi resisted Leitner using the crossbar which led to a corner. Shots from Tarkan Serbest (8.) and Kevin Friesenbichler (12.) fell too central and Leitner easily made the saves.

Completely contrary to the course of the game, the guests took the lead. From a counterattack Maximilian Sax curled the ball past Robert Almer into the goal - 0:1 (13.). This did not discompose the “Violets”. Another header from Friesenbichler after a free-kick by Raphael Holzhauser went over the bar (14.). Alexander Grünwald shot a free-kick from the line of the six yard box and chose the far corner. Leitner was on the spot and fished the ball out of the corner (20.). Another shot from Grünwald was also saved by the Admira goalkeeper (21.). Little could be seen from Admira in the offense, only in minute 29 Robert Almer had to intervene after a shot from Knasmüllner.

The best chance to equalize found Kevin Friesenbichler in minute 31: Our striker fired from close range, but the ball went just over the bar (31.). Shortly after, the highly deserved equalizer finally happened: Jens Stryger Larsen sent Venuto on the right, his cross was utilized by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi - 1:1 (36.) - his 5th goal of the season.

13 shots towards the goal of FC Admira, 68% possession, 4:0 corners. Good performance from the “Violets”, only the score was still expandable - Halftime.

Disappointing second half

The second half began as the first had ended: with attacks from FK Austria Wien. Friesenbichler brought the ball towards the goal with his shoulder after a cross from Venuto but he fired just wide (49.). Tajouri-Shradi went by Zwierschitz in the penalty box but Leitner prevented FK Austria’s lead (51.). Admira had two free-kicks close to the penalty box, but the attempts of Knasmüllner (54.) and Toth (56.) both ended with Robert Almer. Then the visitors took the lead again: Bajrami slammed the ball forward, Almer came out of the goal in order to clarify but shot at Monschein. Admira’s striker only had to push the ball over the line - 1: 2 (63.). The somewhat shocked Austria could not prevent another great chance for Admira, but luckily Monschein missed the goal (68.). Petar Filipovic shot a free-kick from Tajouri-Shradi just wide (74.). Thorsten Fink reacted to the residue, brought Larry Kayode for Raphael Holzhauser, later Felipe Pires for Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and Marko Kvasina for Tarkan Serbest. Total offensive, but the ball did not want to end up in the goal. Larry Kayode missed the last chance to equalize: the Nigerian took on a long pass from Lukas Rotpuller very well, but failed during his finish (81.). 23 Shots were not enough, FC Admira was able to defend their surprising victory.
