1:3 – SETBACK AGAINST STURM GRAZ

After the derby setback FK Austria Wien went back to their 4-2-3-1 system. Alexander Grünwald came back in the starting line-up and Lukas Rotpuller was back in his usual central defense position next to Petar Filipovic.

Backlog before Halftime

The “Violets” had a hard time finding in the game, the 27° outside didn’t help their situation much. Edomwonyi found his first chance after a throw-in but Robert Almer prevented a goal gracefully. After a foul on Larry Kayode, Raphael Holzhauser’s centered free-kick went over Gratzei’s goal (26.). On the other side Almer could again prevent a finish from Alar (34.). But shortly after, the “Violets” fell behind. Alar was able to utilize a beautiful ball into the box by Matic – 1:0. Even though he was standing offside referee Hameter gave the goal.

FK Austria better in the offence, lacking in the defense

After the halftime Thorsten Fink brought Kevin Friesenbichler who replaced Raphael Holzhauser. The “Violets” started the second half a lot more motivated. Gratzei had to prevent possible equalizers from Larry Kayode (52.) and Lucas Venuto (53.). FK Austria Wien was lucky after a counterattack from Edomwonyi, who overlooked Horvath but didn’t get the ball past Almer (55.). It got even more curious in minute 63. when Huspek only hit the post and Jens Stryger Larsen had to defend twice against Horvath. Shortly after, Gratzei had to defend two countermoves by Larry Kayode (63., 65.).

In minute 66 Edomwonyi could get the ball to Alar after a tackle with Rotpuller - 2:0. Only 4 minutes later Huspek slide into a shot by Matic -3:0 (70.).

Friesenbichler hauled out a corner, Ismael Tajouri served the ball to Petar Filipovic who made FK Austria’s first and only goal during this game – 3:1 (79.).
