SK Rapid
LASK Linz
SK Rapid Wien delivered a commanding performance to secure a 4-2 victory over LASK Linz in what proved to be an entertaining Admiral Bundesliga encounter. Despite falling behind to Samuel Adeniran's early opener, Rapid responded immediately through Jakob Schöller and never looked back. Bendegúz Bolla emerged as the star performer, netting twice including a crucial penalty to put the hosts firmly in control. The Hungarian wing-back's first-half strike gave Rapid the lead before his 65th-minute penalty effectively killed off LASK's hopes of a comeback. While Moses Usor briefly threatened a LASK revival with a 79th-minute goal, Matthias Seidl's late strike sealed a comprehensive win that will boost Rapid's confidence and potentially damage LASK's campaign momentum.
