Outstanding performance
Austria Wien•DefenderWSG Tirol nicked this on the road despite Austria Wien enjoying the better of the territorial battle, with the hosts racking up 59 dangerous attacks and eight corners to Tirol's 38 and two. But Tirol were sharper in the moments that mattered, forcing three saves from six shots on target and converting their best spell of pressure just after the hour mark. Drew Murray, booked for an early foul, made amends by pouncing on a loose ball from a blocked Matthaus Taferner effort following a corner to slot home the only goal. Austria Wien's profligacy in front of goal - eleven shots to Tirol's eleven but only three on target compared to their higher shot count - proved costly, and with nine fouls and only one save from their goalkeeper, this defeat leaves them mired in the bottom half of the table while Tirol climb away from the relegation mire.
