Late shock leaves us empty-handed at Rapid 0-1 defeat in Vienna What looked destined to be a goalless draw ended in a 0-1 defeat . We lost away to SK Rapid on matchday 29 of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga due to a late goal from Ercan Kara, in a game when we offered too little in attack. It's a setback in the final stretch of the season, and a particularly bitter one at that.
We have a chance though to redeem ourselves next Sunday at home against SK Sturm. Match summary In beautiful spring weather at Hütteldorf's Allianz Stadium, our Red Bulls faced a Vienna side for a third time in a row , this time SK Rapid. While the hosts went into the match with a 0-2 defeat against Hartberg, we were able to draw on two victories against Austria Vienna.
Coach Daniel Beichler (unsurprisingly) fielded his usual line-up , with only Stefan Lainer returning to the starting eleven after serving his yellow card suspension. It began well as our lads took control right from the start and aggressively probed the Vienna penalty area. The first clear chance didn't take long to arrive: in the sixth minute, Jannik Schuster played a long ball directly into the path of Karim Konate, but the Ivorian didn't connect cleanly with the bouncing ball and shot well over the bar.
The home side gradually found their way into the game, without putting our defence under any real pressure. Schuster & Co. stood firm as our defence allowed hardly any dangerous situations.
