FAC was followed by WAC, Coach Thomas Letsch made two changes after the victory in the Cup: Maximilian Sax was in the starting line-up for the first time, replacing Dominik Prokop behind the strikers Christoph Monschein and Kevin Friesenbichler, who replaced Ewandro.
WAC suffered a home defeat against Rapid in the UNIQA ÖFB Cup, striker Dever Orgill couldn’t be in the squad due to his fifth yellow card. Marc Andre Schmerböck and Bernd Gschweidl formed the striking duo. Former FAK player Mario Leitgeb started behind them in the defensive midfield.
After the quick opening goal against FAC, the ‘Violets’ upped the stakes even more: After just 23 seconds the ball landed in the goal, a shot by Uroš Matić was deflected twice by the WAC defense to the 1-0 lead for FAK. Thomas Ebner made the assist. Shortly after Friesenbichler was pushed aside at the last moment, Monschein’s finish was saved by Alexander Kofler (3'). WAC had their first chance through Marcel Ritzmaier, Patrick Pentz was on the spot (10').
Gschweidl appeared in front of Pentz after a pass by Michael Liendl, our goalkeeper prevented the equalizer with his leg (11'). However, Pentz had no chance shortly after: Mario Leitgeb, although from offside position, pressed the ball over the line to the 1-1 after a free-kick by Christopher Wernitznig (14'). FAK was not impressed and answered with another goal, also after a free-kick. Matić lobbed the ball from the midfield into the penalty area, Christoph Monschein extended the ball with a header over Kofler for the renewed violet lead (16').
After a turbulent start, the game calmed down, and a direct free-kick by Wernitznig wasn’t much of a concern for Pentz (27'). A nice combination between Schmerböck and Liendl was completed by Gschweidl, but he clearly missed the goal (39'). Without any extra time and with the close 2-1 lead referee Dieter Muckenhammer blew the whistle to end the first half.
FAK started the second half with a great chance, after a corner from Matić, Igor came to a header, which turned out too central (46'). Afterwards, the guests controlled the game, putting pressure on Austria Wien, especially due to good tackling. Gschweidl missed the goal from short distance (48'), Pentz caught a dangerous flat cross from Lukas Schmitz (53'). Another finish by Gschweidl went past the goal as well, WAC became dangerous over the left side repeatedly (56').
Letsch made two changes after 60 minutes: Dominik Prokop and Ewandro came for Sax and Friesenbichler. Another cross from the left - this time from Schmerböck - reached Michael Sollbauer, who headed over the goal (63'). Schmerböck took over a cross by Michael Novak, Pentz parried (75'). Monschein failed with a shot on Kofler (82'), just before the end, WAC scored the equalizer: Mario Leitgeb scored with a header after a corner-kick by Michael Liendl - 2-2 (86').
Letsch made his last change, Venuto came for Ebner. After another standard situation, WAC turned the game, Leitgeb utilised a free-kick by Michael Liendl again with a header – 2-3 (90'+2'). FAK didn’t have enough time to equalize and lost at home against WAC.
