Women's cup journey ends with final defeat Narrow loss to best team in land FC Red Bull Salzburg Women 0-1 FK Austria Vienna (H/T:0-0). Goal: Schiechtl (52') Our valiant efforts went unrewarded. We lost 0-1 to FK Austria Vienna in front of a record crowd for an Austrian Women's Cup Final at the Wiener Sport-Club stadium, conceding a goal from a set piece.
This leaves our FC Red Bull Salzburg Women as cup runners-up in their debut season. Match summary The Viennese side, still undefeated in domestic football, started this 50th Austrian Women's Cup Final with more energy. Uka had an early effort with a shot on the turn that was followed by a series of headers from the Violets.
Other efforts from Wenninger and Weilharter, who was offside, were kept out by our defence. Our defensive efforts after this initial onslaught ebbed as the first half progressed. Only Aldina Hamzic had to make a noteworthy intervention before half-time, intervening against Weilharter.
Our aim for the second half had to be to create more decisive chances on the transition. Initially, however, it was Austria who were again on the front foot. After Pfattner's shot hit the crossbar and Weilharter's following a corner had been dangerous, the moment came: Schiechtl gained aerial dominance after one of their countless corner kicks, heading the ball home for a 1-0 lead (52').
