Robert Ibertsberger made some changes to his team due to the suspension of Christoph Monschein and the injury of Christian Schoissengeyr. Alexandar Borkovic started in the central defence, next to him Michael Madl and Igor. Cristián Cuevas started in place of Christoph Martschinko, in the attack Ibertsberger counted on Bright Edomwonyi.
WAC coach Christian Ilzer made only one change after the 4-0 against SKN St. Pölten in the previous week: Marcel Ritzmaier started in midfield instead of Stefan Gölles. Kevin Friesenbichler started up front.
Austria Wien set the pace in the initial phase, but clear scoring chances could not be recorded. After that, the guests got stronger, Sekou Koita fired the first shot on goal, Ivan Lučić parried the deflected ball (12’). Lučić had no problems with long-range shots by Koita and Ritmaier (20’, 25’). After a corner by Alexander Grünwald Uroš Matić came to a finish, but his shot was blocked (35’). Another attempt by the Serb went past the goal (40’). Austria Wien was the dominant team, WAC waited for opportunities to counterattack. A rather uneventful first half ended without any goals.
Both teams started aggressively in the second half, the importance of the game became apparent. The first shot came from Igor, but the ball was blocked (48’). Michael Madl came to a header after a corner by Grünwald, the ball went past the goal (52’). In the 55th minute the Generali-Arena cheered: Alexander Grünwald initiated the action with a switch pass. Cristián Cuevas’ cross perfectly reached Bright Edomwonyi, who scored the 1-0 lead for Austria Wien with his first header goal in violet (55’).
Alexander Grünwald narrowly missed another good cross by Cuevas, a shot by Dominik Prokop was parried by Alexander Kofler (57’, 59’). During the strongest phase of Austria Wien James Jeggo had to leave the pitch after a yellow-red card (60’), Robert Ibertsberger brought Thomas Ebner instead of Prokop (65’).
Kofler steered a shot by Edomwonyi to the corner, Alex Grünwald shot the corner. His cross landed with Alexandar Borković, who defeated Kofler in his second attempt – 2-0 for the ‘Violets’ (67’)!
A shot by Romano Schmid in the 68th minute, which missed the goal, was the first chance for the guests after the break. Florian Klein tried a shot from promising position after a solo by Matić, the shot was sharp, but went far past the goal (73’). Alon Turgeman came for Bright Edomwonyi, Vesel Demaku replaced Alex Grünwald. Violet loan Kevin Friesenbichler had a chance to score in the 75th minute, but failed from close range. RZ Pellets WAC were not dangerous even during the five-minute stoppage time. Austria Wien won 2-0, past SK Sturm Graz in the standings of the tipico Bundesliga and are only one point behind WAC and the third place.
