Flying start for Vienna

The visitors from Döbling made a perfect start to the match, rewarding themselves for their aggressive, high pressing. Prohart won the ball with a sliding tackle near the opponent's penalty area, and Edelhofer finished coolly to make it 1-0 (5').

Patrick Enengl's side remained in control as the game progressed, though the young Violets still managed to threaten on occasion.

Shortly before half-time, Takacs' team equalised through a long-range strike from Jerabek (38'). The youngster found the bottom right corner with precision.

And so, the clash between two of the league's top teams went into the half-time break at 1-1.

No further goals

At the start of the second half, the Young Violets took greater control and looked the more dangerous side going forward.

However, Vienna remained active as well, though a header from Prohart missed the target (72').

In the end, it remained 1-1 between the two sides, who stay in second and third place in the table behind leaders BW Linz.
