Rapid Vienna loses in Vienna against Austria Lustenau

Rapid Wien responded in the second half and was able to apply pressure to the Austria Lustenau team. However, the Viennese side failed to equalize, meaning the defeat remained after the break.

Demir puts the visitors ahead

Matthias Seidl pointed to the shortcomings of the first half and said: “In der ersten Hälfte sind uns viele Fehler unterlaufen. Wir waren im Passspiel nicht schnell, hatten nicht viele Chancen und haben den Gegner zu Chancen kommen lassen.“

The match took place in Vienna, in the surroundings of Rapid Vienna's home ground. The 1:2 result left Rapid unsuccessful. The visitors from Lustenau, however, secured an away victory.

The match was therefore unsuccessful for Rapid. After falling behind, the Viennese side had to exert more attacking pressure in the second half, but was unable to correct the lack of chances and the overly slow passing in the first half.

Second-half comeback fails

The Austria team, by contrast, remained stable enough after taking the lead to preserve the scoreline. Yusuf Demir's goal gave them the match's only goal of record, and they ultimately decided the match in the visitors' favor.

According to its own account, Rapid Vienna was not quick enough in possession, particularly in the first half. Despite its subsequent efforts to turn the match around, the performance was insufficient to overcome the deficit.

The defeat ended the match with no points for Rapid Vienna. Austria Lustenau, by contrast, secured three points in front of its own home crowd and ended its visit to Vienna with a 2:1 victory.
