1:5 – nothing to be gained against AC Milan

FK Austria Wien was caught off guard by AC Milan, 20 minutes into the game the guests were already in the lead 3:0 through goals by Calhanoglu and Silva. Alexandar Borkovic scored the 1:3 and brought a brief glimmer of hope before Silva and Susa made the outcome clear - 1:5.

Tarkan Serbest was back in the starting-line-up after his injury, Raphael Holzhauser moved one position forward. Jinhyun Lee started on the right wing, Christoph Monschein started as the single striker.

Vincenzo Montella, coach of the guests from Milan, changed his team on five positions compared to the loss against Lazio Rom, started in a 3-5-2 system.

“Violets” caught off guard

As expected AC Milan took the command over the game, Calhanoglu's first chance, a shot on the short corner, Osman Hadzikic parried (3'). Austria introduced themselves with a shot by Raphael Holzhauser - just past the goal (6'). Abdul Mohammed Kadiri lost the ball against Kalinic, the Croatian assists Calhanoglu - 0:1 (7'). Unfortunately, the second goal by the Italians came quickly: Calhanoglu gave the assist this time, Silva scored - 2:2 (10').

The Viennese recovered from the early shock, Christoph Monschein tipped a free-kick from Holzhauser, Donnarumma in the goal of AC Milan was on the spot. The following corner, kicked by Holzhauser, extended by Biglia almost ended as an own goal (18'). In the middle of the “Violets’” best phase, Milan starts a counter-attack, a long pass from Calhanoglu to Silva - 0:3 (20').

FK Austria Wien tried to calm down the game, but the 18-time Italian champion always remained a fire hazard. A free kick by Calhanoglu went just past the goal (35'). On top of everything Heiko Westermann was forced to leave the field after a tackle against Abate, Alexandar Borkovic replaced him (42'). With the sobering score of 0:3 the teams went into the cabins.

Borkovic scored and provided a brief glimmer of hope

For the 31,409 spectators the second round started much more pleasing, a shot from Jinhyun Lee was blocked by Donnarumma to the corner (47'). Raphael Holzhauser shot the corner, with Alexandar Borkovic pushed through Zapata, and headed the 1:3 (47').

Kalinic shot over the goal (53'), on the other side Felipe Pires could not utilize a trip by Donnarumma (55'). A long shot from Calhanoglu went over the goal (56'), but after a pass by Kessie, Silva scored for the third time during this game - 1:4 (56'). The 1:5 by Suso - an unstoppable shot – buried all hopes of the optimistic “Violets” (63').

Thorsten Fink brought David de Paula for Lee, unfortunately Borkovic injured himself in the final minutes. Petar Gluhakovic was able to sniff a few minutes of the Europe league air. Unfortunately none of this changed the game - Austria Vienna had to acknowledge the defeat against AC Milan.
