Rotation failed
Burgenland had changed their starting eleven by seven positions against a 1-1 draw in Sunday’s league derby. Srdjan Grahovac and Filip Stojkovic were saved to avoid a yellow card penalty in the duel with Molde. Rapid’s coach revealed that after the game. Other forces were battered and thus given a break. “Championship and Molde are the most important games, that’s why the changes came about,” Kühbauer said. For example, forward Deni Alar made his first competitive outing this season and once again defended Richard Strebinger’s goal.
The fast keeper did not look good when Alexandre Lacazette (10th) scored his first goal from almost 30 meters, but then it was a strong support. After conceding more goals from Pablo Mari (18th) and Eddie Nketiah (44th), they went 3-0 at halftime. It is probably also a consequence of the strong turnover. “We didn’t get to the field in the first half, we weren’t close enough to the man and we didn’t think we could do enough,” Kühbauer said.
Of course, routine defensive back Mario Sonnleitner, who moved toward the team, noticed. “We tried to bring relief, but we couldn’t handle it at all. We also tried to annoy them, but we were always one step too late,” the Styrian knew. As so often this season, the 0: 2 came after a set piece, this time after a corner kick. “It’s just that it’s really chasing us. It’s annoying that we don’t defend inactive balls actively enough,” Kühbauer said. Equally annoying was the pass from Mateo Barac, who started the last goal from Emile Smith Rowe (66th). “We have to defend a lot better,” said the Rapids coach.
