No points against Admira

Osman Hadzikic started instead of Patrick Pentz in the goal of Austria Wien, for the first time after coming back to the “Violets” Michael Madl started next to Ruan in the central defence. Ibrahim Alhassan replaced Dominik Prokop in midfield.

Alexander Merkel celebrated his debut in the starting line-up under Coach Ernst Baumeister. Wilhelm Vorsager and Patrick Schmidt were also new to the team compared to the away victory against WAC.

Madl scored early on

The game started quite fast, but with few goal area scenes. Schmidt missed with the first shot on goal from an acute angle (10'). The “Violets” cheered after the second corner kick: Kevin Friesenbichler extended the shot by Raphael Holzhauser, Michael Madl pressed the ball with his head over the line - perfect debut (16').

The joy only lasted briefly, Schmidt scored after groundwork by Sasa Kalajdzic with an accurate shot from the edge of the penalty area only a few minutes later (20'). A header by Kalajdzic missed the goal (28'), afterwards it was Austria Wien’s turn again: Tarkan Serbest skilfully lobbed the ball to Friesenbichler, but the striker failed on Manuel Kuttin (33'). A shot by Holzhauser was deflected to a corner, which resulted in a header by Ruan - Kuttin parried (35'). Ruan also started the next chance for the “Violets”: Friesenbichler, however, fired wide during his finish after a long shot of the Brazilian (37').

The final phase of the first half belonged to the home team again, shots by Merkel and Kalajdzic, however, were not dangerous (42', 43'). With the 1-1 the teams went to warm up after 45 minutes in freezing temperatures.

Grozurek hit the “Violets” in the heart

The second half started without an exchange of players. The first action worth seeing delivered Austria Wien. Venuto volleyed a cross by Stefan Stangl but Kuttin was on the spot (50'). Holzhauser tried again from a distance. Kuttin defended briefly, Alhassan, Friesenbichler and Venuto failed with follow-up shots (62').

Afterwards both teams neutralized themselves, Admira came to their next chance rather accidental but it was still very dangerous: Kalajdzic deflected a shot by Hausjell, the ball went barely past the pole (70'). Shortly after, the game was turned, a quick counterattack after a loss of the ball in the midfield was finished by Lukas Grozurek - 2-1 (74').

In the 79^th minute Ossi Hadzikic saved the “Violets” from the preliminary decision when he parried a header by Kalajdzic. With Christoph Monschein, Dominik Prokop and David de Paula Thorsten Fink brought fresh offensive forces for the final phase. Stangl narrowly missed the goal after groundwork by Monschein (86'). In the counterattack Grozurek missed the last chance for Admira (90'+2'), Austria Wien lost against Admira.
