Between the 2-2 win against Molde and Wednesday’s cup coup against Red Bull Salzburg, Rapid Rotation was the name of the game. Coach Dietmar Kühbauer changed the eleven in six positions: Mario Sonnleitner and Leo Greiml formed the pair of central defenders, in the center of the field, together with Yusuf Demir, the two 20-year-old Melih Ibrahimoglu and Lion Schuster debuted as starters in the league , and Taxiarchis Fountas entered as a solo lead.
It was counterproductive. Rapid proved vulnerable on defense, again very vulnerable on set pieces and offensively without penetration. In the first half, the Green-Whites were really dangerous only once, but WSG goalkeeper Ferdinand Oswald had no problem with Founta’s shot (39th) completely free.
Wattens, on the other hand, always came dangerously close to Rapid’s goal and through two similarly played standard situations for a well-deserved 2-0 lead. After a short corner kick from the left side, David Schnegg found himself at point blank range (5th) and former Rapidler Thanos Petsos with a long-range shot that was not unsustainable (29th).
Third goal instead of turn
Kühbauer reacted during the break, adding three new players: Mateo Barac, Kelvin Arase and Ercan Kara. But just like against Molde, instead of the expected change, there was another serious setback shortly after the restart. Filip Stojkovic was shown the red card in the 49th minute after a round. The Tyrolese almost used the extra space immediately, Fabian Koch only hit the crossbar (52), Florian Rieder hit the crossbar (54).
On the other hand, Kara also only hit the crossbar (58th). Numerically decimated, Rapid could not turn the game around, conceding the third goal in the 90th minute from Nikolai Baden Frederiksen and losing in the third league game for the first time against the Tyrolese.
