LINZ. LASK lost to Rapid Wien on the road 3-0. Hütteldorfer’s goals were scored by Thomas Murg, Taxiarchis Fountas and Ercan Kara. Christian Ramsebner from Linz was sent off for just under an hour.
Coach Dominik Thalhammer had to change Linz’s starting line-up compared to the 4-1 win in Lisbon. Bundesliga rookie Tobias Lawal replaced convalescent Alexander Schlager, Christian Ramsebner moved into the starting lineup by captain Gernot Trauner, who was absent due to an upset stomach.
Active Viennese
The Viennese were the most active team from the start, leading 1-0 in just over five minutes thanks to a goal from Thomas Murg. In the 22nd minute Taxiarchis Fountas was on point and scored 2-0, which also meant the break result. After the break, the Linz team increased their attacking efforts and had a chance or two to catch the next goal, but left them behind. At the latest after the red card from LASK defender Christian Ramsebner (minute 66), the game was decided. Rapid then controlled the game and scored it 3-0 through Erkan Kara shortly before the final whistle.
Statement Trainer
“The intensity of the last few days was visible today, and we also had to do without Gernot Trauner for a short time. Today we have had problems to act compact and close the rooms. That’s why we didn’t get into our urgent situations as well as we did in previous games. The start of the second half was very promising, but we lost that momentum again with the traffic light card. We can learn a lot from the game today, “said LASK coach Dominik Thalhammer.
