One shot, one goal
In the first 45 minutes, marked by many bad passes, only one shot went to one of two goals, leading to success. Kara came to the ball happily from just over 20 yards, quickly sped away and defeated Alexander Kofler, who was slightly ahead of her goal. The 34-year-old WAC goalkeeper was not looking good.
Soon after, the guests almost made a second mistake, but this time Kofler was able to clear a Baumgartner return pass that was too short in dire need (36th). Otherwise, the Hütteldorfer, who had recently competed without the injured Maximilian Hofmann and Dejan Ljubicic, could not look as offensive as the Wolfsbergers, who were just beginning to be dangerous.
WAC’s failed efforts
After the break, the reflexes increased, also because the Carinthians took more risks and were able to significantly increase the danger of scoring. To a Vizinger degree, Rapid goalkeeper Richard Strebinger was first tested in the 59th minute. Almost in return, the final decision was up in the air: Marcel Ritzmaier found his master in Kofler, Kara’s margin missed the goal ( 62º).
After that, the balance was more in the air. A shot from above by substitute Dejan Joveljic missed the goal, Strebinger would have been defeated (75th). Also, Christopher Wernitznig slipped into the best final position (85th). That’s why the WAC failed to win at Rapid for the seventh time in a row.
