On Sunday, the third round of the Tipico Bundesliga saw the SKN St. Pölten vs. Fast Vienna on the program. The Hütteldorfer celebrate a tight end 1: 2 away win and thus again the first pursuer of the Red Bull Salzburg series champion.
The game began cautiously led by both teams. With the first offensive action of the game, the hosts scored the opening goal. After an ideal cross from Blauensteiner, Hugi ideally runs to the ball and pushes the ball for a 1-0 lead. As a result, the hosts took over. Those from Lower Austria were the most poisonous and aggressive team. On the other hand, the guests again had notorious problems getting into the spotlight. Rapid Wien’s attacking actions generally ended around 30 meters in front of the guest gate with no real threat to the goal. With the first successful attack, the Hütteldorfer achieved against the course of the game, the tie. D. Ljubicic fights the ball in midfield and then passes the ball to Fountas. The ex-st. Pöltener walks away and achieves the 1: 1 equalizer. As a result, the hosts were completely disorganized. A circumstance that “must take revenge” in the following. Pass pronounced for Murg, who is brought down by goalkeeper Riegler. Kara converted the penalty due to 1: 2. If she leads at the end despite a weak starting phase, then she can call it “sporting quality. As a result, both teams continued to be very offensive. At times it was tactically wild with large spaces in between. Hugi (22nd), Schultz (37th) or a free kick by Murg (21st) and Kara (26th) could have provided the fourth goal of the game. The emphasis was on “can.” It should be noted that the game stabilized significantly after about 30 minutes. The hosts had marginally the best parts of the game. However, the quality of the passport was poor and the latest reprint was the order of the day. A Hugi free kick in the 39th minute was the laudable exception in the game. Rapid got the narrow lead without necessarily looking offensive. The best attack of the first half should have been 1: 3. After a cross from the newly weak Arase, scorer Kara has an empty goal in front of her. Muhamedbegovic sneaks in in dire need and deflects the ball to the outside bar (41). The break in a mixed Bundesliga match at the NV-Arena was 1: 2.
After the break, the game was very disorganized. Successful offensive actions were rare, and if they were, they were favored by mistakes made by the opponent. In the 54th minute, the guests applauded for the 1: 3 assumption. Striker Fountas was clearly offside. A few seconds later, Arase was stopped in great need. On the other hand, the Hütteldorfer were now much more compact on defense. The hosts were now having great trouble getting to the center of the offense. Due to the start of the second half, the advantage could be described as “deserved”. However, the greenish-whites had to face a personal setback. Captain D. Ljubicic had to leave the field due to injury. The final phase heralded a failed header from Schmidt behind Hugi-Flanke (73rd). Hugi would have equalized in the 78th minute. His conclusion, from an unrestricted position, goes precisely to the Rapid Strebinger goalkeeper. A few seconds later, ex-Rapidler Grozurek, a substitute, circles the ball just after the opponent’s goal. On the other hand, Kara gave away the first “match ball” for the guests (83rd) after substitute Demir did a wonderful preparatory job. 60 seconds later, Kara could have made the decision again. But it did not. So 120 seconds later, the hosts were dangerous again. A Hugi free kick landed, slightly off target, just off the goal. On the other hand, Kara could have made the decision again in the 89th minute. But again she didn’t. So the game stayed exciting until the last seconds. The guests showed their smart side and saved the narrow lead over time. Final score in the NV-Arena 1: 2.
Due to the second half, this result fell under the heading of “well deserved.” At the end of the day, Rapid Vienna was overweight in scoring opportunities and was the most convincing team on offense. However, there were tactical errors, especially in the first half, that better teams would have “exploited” with greater emphasis. On the other hand, SKN St. Pölten can point to a very good performance. In the end, the lack of effectiveness, emphasis and playful ideas ensured a result that “could have been more positive” in the end.
