In a strangely sparsely populated Horr Stadium our side locked horns with familiar foes Austria Vienna with a much-changed line up. Helge Payer was back in the side, protected by a back four of Sonnleitner, Soma, Katzer and Schimpelsberger. The midfield quartet consisted of Drazan, Prager, Pichler and Trimmel, while up front Burgstaller was the lone striker with skipper Steffen Hofmann in the hole behind him.Those awaiting an onslaught from the hosts following their good showing in midweek...

For the first time since Spetember 21st, influential captain Steffen Hofmann was missing from the Rapid starting line up. Experienced fin Markus Heikinnen was partnered by Prager in his absence. First meaningful attack almost yields reward for the Hütteldorfers. It took aabout 20 minutes for the Hanappi clash to begin to boil. A quality cross from Drazan, who floating in the hole behind the strikers, found it's way to Trimmel whose instinctive effort went just wide of the upright,...

Following the unlucky defeat away to Admira last time out, Peter Schöttel again rotated the goalkeepers for the visit of his former club, with Jan Novota coming in for Payer. Sonnleitner and Soma formed the centre back partnership, while Guido Burgstaller and Rene Gartler got the nod up front. The early stages suggested that the Hütteldorfers had put the international break to good effect: an early chance for Trimmel signalled the Viennese' intent in the 3rd minute before Drazan put the...

For the first time in 17 years the Stadium in Mödling was again sold out. Juventus were the visitors on that occasion, this time it was Vienna heavyweights Rapid making the short journey south. Ex Rapid man Didi Kühbauer's side had been making an excellent fist of life in the top flight in recent weeks, but Peter Schöttels troops also looked to have turned the corner with three wins inside a week. The Rapid boss's line up showed faith in the players that had done so well in the past 7...

It took a vibrant Rapid side just 5 minutes to conjure the afternoons opening chance. In a sign of things to come for the hosts, Deni Alar played in Christopher Trimmel who spurned a great chance to score his third goal in three games for the Hütteldorfers. The Tyrol side were struggling to contain the flying Viennese down the flanks, with both Hofmann and Trimmel down the right and Drazan on the left running the respective full backs ragged. The final killer ball was all that was missing,...

A good hour before kick off the mini stadium in Bad Vöslau was packed to the rafters and brimming with excitement ahead of the visit of the Austrian record champions. 2000 spectators, including 500 from Vienna, came to see David v Goliath in the shape of Rapid Vienna and regional side Bad Vöslau. The minnows from Vöslau could boast an impressive record of going unbeaten in their previous 24 outings, although the Green-Whites would provide a different calibre of opposition altogether. Tie...
