Wolfsberger AC
SK Rapid
Outstanding performance
SK Rapid•DefenderRapid took control early and never let go, going ahead through Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao in the 13th minute and doubling their lead through Nenad Cvetkovic before the half-hour mark following a spell of sustained pressure that produced two other close chances. Wolfsberg managed 12 shots to Rapid's 6 but could only muster three on target, a reflection of a night where quantity never turned into quality, while Rapid's 61% possession and 629 passes at 90% accuracy underlined their control of tempo throughout. Petter Nosa Dahl added a third late on after coming off the bench, capping a professional away performance built on defensive solidity and clinical finishing from limited opportunities. For Wolfsberg, the result piles pressure on a side already dealing with inconsistent form, while Rapid's win keeps them firmly in the picture near the top of the table.
