Christian Ilzer did not make any changes to his team after the 5-0 against Hartberg. Maximilian Sax, Johannes Handl and Alexandar Borković are all injured and are not available for the last two games of the year.
SK Rapid had to do without Taxiarchis Fountas, who became a father for the first time today. Aliou Badji replaced the young Greek. Otherwise, there were no changes compared to the 4-0 against LASK.
Great start to the game: After less than five minutes, the ball was in the goal twice. Austria Wien used their first chance to take the lead: Dominik Fitz went past two opponents in his own half, passed on Christoph Monschein, who saw Manprit Sarkaria completely free. The 23-year-old offensive player lobbed the ball over Richard Strebinger and scored his first Bundesliga goal – 0-1 (3’). Unfortunately, the joy over the lead only lasted about 60 seconds, Stefan Schwab took over a cross by Christoph Knasmüllner and scored the 1-1 (4’).
Austria Wien was clearly game defining after the turbulent beginning, Monschein failed with a shot on the short corner (10’). The “Violets” won in this phase 70% of their duels, their ball possession was about 55% and with 7 to 3 shots on goal they were clearly superior to the home team. Rapid came to a finish with Aliou Badji, but missed (24’). Mario Sonnleitner snatched a header by Alexander Grünwald after a cross by Benedikt Pichler from the line. Another shot of the captain was parried by Strebinger (25’, 26’). Rapid became dangerous through Badji, his header after a free-kick by Schwab went past the goal (29’).
In the 39th minute Austria Wien went into the lead again: Benedikt Pichler headed the 1-2 after a dream cross by Manprit Sarkaria. In the final phase of the first half Richard Strebinger prevented a higher lead for the “Violets”. A shot by Sarkaria was turned over the bar by Rapid’s goalkeeper (43’). Shortly after, Sarkaria ran towards Strebinger in a counterattack, the goalie, however, didn’t flinch a second time (45’). Monschein had a great chance after a cross by Christoph Martschinko - again Strebinger fended off the ball from close range. The following corner by Michael Madl was a close call as well (45’+1’).
5:12 shots on goal, a great first half ended with a highly deserved lead for the “Violets”.
At the break Dietmar Kühbauer switched to a back four and Adrian Hajdari and Thomas Murg came into the game for Mario Sonnleitner and Srdjan Grahovac. Maximilian Ullmann had the first chance, Ivan Lučić parried safely (48’). The same situation on the other side, Strebinger saved a shot by Dominik Fitz. Fitz’ follow-up shot was prevented by Barac, it was probably not enough for a penalty (50’). A free-kick by Alexander Grünwald caused problems for Strebinger, but the busy goalkeeper prevented a goal by Monschein (52’).
Rapid then became stronger, Austria Wien did not show much in the offence now. A cross by Ullmann missed Knasmüllner (69’), but shortly after the home team scored the equalizer: Kelvin Arase served Dejan Ljubicic, who deliberately aimed for the short corner - 2-2 (69’).
A shot by Thomas Ebner was too weak, Badji missed alone against Lučić (73’, 75’). Christian Ilzer made his first change with Tarkan Serbest for Benedikt Pichler in the 80th minute. Lučić fished a header from Badji out of the corner - the game was still in the balance (81’).
Lučić saved Austria Wien twice against Knasmüllner (86’, 89’). Patrick Wimmer made his professional debut for Fitz, Bright Edomwonyi replaced Monschein. The hosts had the last chances, Badji and Ullmann failed again on the strong goalkeeper Ivan Lučić (90’+2’).
Due to two completely different halves, the game ended with a fair 2-2. Austria Wien remains unbeaten in the Allianz Stadium, losing two important points in the battle for sixth place.
