The 331st Vienna soccer derby between Rapid and Austria ended in a 1-1 draw on Sunday. At the end of the ninth day of the Bundesliga, the hosts took the lead in the seventh minute, Patrick Wimmer tied (19).
Rapid is still third, the gap with leader Red Bull Salzburg increased to four points. Austria, which is in eighth place, does not have a point in sixth place. Hütteldorfer posted a clear increase in chances, but failed time and again due to Austrian goalkeeper Patrick Pentz and his own inability. Grün-Weiß’s seventh attempt to defeat the archrival at the Allianz Stadium also failed.
Rapid quickly took the lead. After a cross from Ullmann, Schick sank a volley in the far corner (7th). Austria’s response followed in the 19th minute. Wimmer headed a Manprit Sarkaria free-kick cross into the short corner, where Rapid, as so often in recent weeks, revealed weaknesses on set pieces.
After the break, Rapid’s lead seemed only a matter of time. Austria somehow managed to get over the finish line in the finals. Rapid has been waiting for victory for three laps. The “Veilchen” have been unsuccessful for five league games.
Kühbauer satisfied
Didi Kühbauer, Rapid coach: “I can’t blame the team. We created the best chances, we should have won. Austria should pay goalkeeper Pentz the full points bonus.” Peter Stöger, Austria coach: “It’s a happy point that Patrick Pentz signed us up.”
