Kara and Fountas guarantee fast, convenient steering

The Bundesliga team stayed on the trigger and took the lead a little later: Grüll stuck to Ljubicic, whose shot hit the crossbar. Balu brought the ball into the danger zone again before Erkan Kara shot from close range – 0:1 (13).

After Amstettner was more brave and managed to complete a few times, the Rapidler increased to 0:2 after an impressive combination. Grüll played the ball on Schick, who was looking forward to the Fountas. The Greeks finished about eight meters (27). Amstettner complained violently about an apparent foul by Fountas on Kurt before the hit. Rapid dominated everything, although Vienna were able to thank Paul Gartler for keeping their two-goal lead in the first half. The fast goalkeeper neutralized a dangerous header shortly before the end of the first half.

Grahovac explains it all with a free kick

In the 55th minute, the Bundesliga team stopped the match: Serjan Grahovac took a free kick after Amer Fontas missed and flew it perfectly over the wall to the goal – 3-0. After that, Hütteldorfer turned back a bit and managed to make a clear headway. On the other hand, SKU Amsetten did not give the impression that it could seriously jeopardize SKU Rapid.

The second 45 minutes were very quiet. Only in the 82nd minute was the next important event at the all-sold Ertl Glas: Arne Ammerer ran away from inside the penalty area and made the crossbar tremble with his shot. In the end, guests from Vienna made comfortable progress over time.
