Rapid's game on Sunday afternoon in Austria's Innviertel ignited straight from kick-off, with both sides creating concrete chances within the first couple of minutes. Débutante goalkeeper Marko Maric, a product of the prolific Hütteldorf youth academy, quickly found out what first team football is all about when he was called into action after just fifteen seconds to deny Patrick Möschl.
