Boris Prokopic didn't travel with the side as a precautionary measure following his injury. Captain Steffen Hofmann was deemed fit enough though, his presence on the bench surely a boost to the travelling supporters from Hütteldorf. Rapid had the chance to take the lead with just a matter of seconds on the clock: a Drazan cross wasn't dealt with by the home defence and was met by a lashing Atdhe Nuhiu volley that went just wide of the keepers right hand post. It was the hosts who did managed to forge a lead unfortunately as static Rapid defending allowed allowed Sadovic space in the 6 yard box, the Neustadt man supplying the mearest of touches to a Burgstaller cross for a seventh minute lead.Rapid continue to createIt was an early blow but didn't force the Hütteldorfers into their shell. Rapid looked for an immediate repost, dictating the pace of the game and enjoying significant territorial advantage. The recalled Helge Payer did well to parry Aigner's 28th minute header to safety, but just 5 minutes later the Lower Austrians doubled their advantage. Burgstaller twisted past Ragnvald Soma before thumping the ball emphatically past Payer into the roof of the net at the near post. Veli Kavlak was unlucky not to halve the arrears a minute later as his long range free kick slammed against the upright. As the interval drew near, Atdhe Nuhiu seized onto a short back pass and rounded the home keeper but couldn't force the ball home from a tight angle in the last real chance of the half. Caution to the windThe second half saw the introduction of Steffen Hofmann for young debutant and birthday boy Michael Schimpelsberger as Pacult attempted to breathe life into Rapid's challenge. Immediately after his introduction Hofmann had an effort from 10 yards cleared of the line. Christopher Drazan fed the skipper after a raking charge down the flank saw him beat 3 or 4 defenders and square the ball to Hofmann. The home side managed to get bodies on the line and clear the danger. Pacult threw caution to the wind by bringing on Salihi for Katzer but his side couldn't force the breakthrough. The game represents dissappointing way to kick of the restart and a first defeat in 11 Bundesliga outings for the green-whites.20th round:Wiener Neustadt - SK Rapid Wien 2:0 (2:0)Stadion Wiener Neustadt, 5.500, Referee EisnerGoals: 1:0 ( 6.)
