0: 1- The old Rieder allows Admira to celebrate in the top game

Admira extends its lead in the table again in the 2nd football league. Thanks to a goal from former Rieder Josef Weberbauer in the last quarter of an hour (77th), the Lower Austrians celebrated a victory in today’s main game against SV Ried – and are now five points in front.

A summit meeting between the leaders of the league and their first pursuers, which left one thing missing for a long time: scoring opportunities. The Vikings became dangerous for the first time in the first half with a free kick from Mark Grosse (7th), while Admira Weberbauer’s shot (45th) landed well above the goal. Shortly before the half-time whistle, Ried could still be in the lead: after home defender Stefan Haudum was careless, Grosse went past goalkeeper Admira Kaltenböck, but then sent the ball too far forward.

“The cheese hasn’t been eaten yet”

Even in the second round, nothing changed in the top game with little chance: Admira kickers Matija Horvat (57th) and Albin Gashi (65th) finished under the division unscathed. The home team almost took the lead out of nowhere: Weberbauer took the courage to hit a half-volley from the box and hit it straight into the corner.

And reeds? Coach Maximilian Senft’s team was missing a lot offensively. In the end, substitute Wilfried Eza (93′) missed a good chance for equality. “It was a zero game. But unfortunately he was far too poor. There are still 18 rounds to play, the cheese hasn’t been eaten yet,” Ried captain Andreas Leitner said.

Coach Ried Senft also saw a fair game – with the better finish for Admira: “We didn’t trust ourselves enough in the first half. Admira were a bit more aggressive in the second half. You have to congratulate them for their efficiency. now the duty is to reduce the speed again.”
