The double chance in the last minute was significant. First Christoph Knasmüllner headed off the crossbar, then Austrian goalkeeper Patrick Pentz had to use all his skills to stop Ercan Kara’s shot from close range with his foot.
There are those games where you get the feeling that the dominant team could play for hours without putting the ball in the opponent’s box. The goalless draw at the 332nd Vienna Derby was such a game from the Rapids point of view.
“In the second half we had the game completely in our hands, we only played for one goal. Unfortunately, we did not reward ourselves,” SCR coach Didi Kühbauer said angrily.
Mass shooting again
Meanwhile, quick problems with assessing odds are an old story. The score on goal after the derby was 22: 6. But neither team managed to score a goal. In the 1-0 win against Ried, Rapid shot on goal 24 times, the Innviertler only six times. And with the number zero against Altach, it was even 21: 1 in terms of shots on goal after 90 minutes.
Rapid have only scored four goals in the last five games of the championship, two of them in 2: 4 against Salzburg. That is not enough to claim to be the first “bull hunter”.
“If I say it every week, it will be soft,” Kühbauer introduces his statement with a tortured smile. “It’s basically a good sign when we have opportunities. But it’s not enough, we have to be more efficient. We have to take ourselves by the nose. We lost our victory.
“We have shown that we are better than Austria at the moment, but unfortunately we let them live again”
The Hütteldorfer rightly felt the memory of the first season’s duel with the violets. At that time the game ended 1: 1, the score on goal with 35: 6 was even clearer than this time. Overall, the Greenish-Whites only managed to beat Pentz once in the two games against their arch rivals in 57 attempts.
“We showed that we are better than Austria at the moment, but unfortunately we let them live again. We should have scored a goal, it was two points lost,” said Kühbauer. Dejan Ljubicic also lost in “Sky”: “We were clearly the best team. We did well behind, but we have to take risks up front.”
However, the coach apologized a bit this time: “The field was difficult to play, it was very slippery, very soapy. The first contact with the ball is crucial, the field does not allow mistakes.”
“Leave Demir alone!”
SCR jewel Yusuf Demir was allowed to run early this time, with 61 ball contacts, one shot on goal, three passes to one shot and a passing rate of a strong 92.3 percent, albeit statistically a good performance, but in midfield he kept getting the ball.
Kühbauer certified the young man as a “good, decent” performance, but did not want to discuss the issue in a big way: “Leave the boy alone! He is 17 years old. I want to protect him with my technical team.”
And in the end it was the third derby in which only one point stood out, again a match with many missed chances, but of course nothing happened from the SCR point of view.
The coach also sees it like this: “The boys have opportunities, they just don’t reward each other. It would be worse if we had games where we didn’t have opportunities.
