2:2 – dramatic comeback in Hütteldorf

There were few changes in the starting positions for the spectators of the 322^nd Vienna Derby. After the successes in the UEFA Europa League and in the tipico Bundesliga both coaches only exchanged their strikers: Thorsten Fink started with Kevin Friesenbichler instead of Christoph Monschein, Rapid coach Djuricin started with Joelinton instead of Prosenik.

Residue at half time

The derby started very intensively with slight advantages for the home team. Kuen came to a follow-up shot after a defence from Osman Hadzikic, Petar Filipovic cleared a few meters in front of the line (3'). A free-kick from Murg reached Schwab, who missed the goal (15'). After a beautiful move over several stations, Ismael Tajouri-Shradi barely missed a cross by Christoph Martschinko, Alexander Grünwald blocked Wöber’s follow-up shot (21').

The “Violets” came better into the game now, however they brought themselves in distress with mistakes during build-up. A long shot by Joelinton went far wide (24'), as did an attempt by Jens Stryger Larsen (38'). In minute 39, Schaub came to a header after a cross from Schrammel and scored the 1:0 for Rapid Vienna. Referee Harkam missed Auer’s yellow/red foul, but the “Violets” were lucky when his whistle stayed silent as well after a rescue attempt of Filipovic in the penalty area against Joelinton (43'). Kevin Friesenbichler had the last chance of the first half, his finish was blocked by Wöber after beautiful ground play by Grünwald (45' + 3'). With a tight residue the teams went into the half-time break.

Dominik Prokop brought the turnaround

The second half of the game started with a free-kick for the “Violets”, Felipe Pires shot over the goal (47'). After a quick counterattack the Brazilian had another good chance, but the last pass missed him, on the other side Joelinton missed Hadzikic’s goal (49'). Shortly after our goalkeeper saved against the Brazilian, who was able to get through against the violet defence (53'). Friesenbichler was too short for Larsen’s cross, during the counterattack, Schaub increased to 2-0 (55') after a mistake in the defensive.

The second goal motivated the home team, they created a few goal scoring chances. Shots from Kuen and Joelinton missed the goal (58', 60'). Wöber came to a header after a free-kick, Schwab tried a long shot - both placed the ball next to the goal again (63', 65'). In minute 73, Dominik Prokop, who replaced Tarkan Serbest, brought hope back to the “Violets”. Pires made room for the young star to score into the far corner - 2-1.

Inspired by the goal Martschinko next shot was on goal, but Strebinger parried it (77'). Alexander Grünwald, slightly injured, had to leave the field, for him came David de Paula (79'). The Spaniard immediately put himself on the scene, served Prokop, who was fouled by Schrammel in the penalty area. Harkam immediately decided on a penalty for FK Austria Wien and showed Schrammel the red card (83'). Raphael Holzhauser stepped up and slammed the ball into the net (85').

Projectiles from the Rapid sector ensured a multi-minute interruption. The following corner from Holzhauser came to Heiko Westermann, whose header was too weak (88'). Pavelic prevented a great chance for Pires with a sketchy intrusion against him (90' + 1'). A deflected shot from Tajouri-Shradi took Friesenbichler, our number 9 missed the winning goal only by a hair’s breadth (90' + 5'). An exciting derby ended with a 2-2 draw, the “Violets” remain unbeaten in the Allianz Stadium.
