Rapid Vienna in the Bredouille: Drama before decisive games!

for the SK Rapid, Sunday was anything but optimal. Before the Bundesliga game against TSV Hartberg, the executive officers were thrown at rapid supporters with objects, which resulted from resentment about the inlet controls. The police reacted with pepper spray and batons, which ultimately led to a 45-minute delay of the kick-off. Managing Director Steffen Hofmann reported on an arrest that triggered the escalation. Although the game was ultimately taking place, Rapid lost 1-2 against Hartberg, which further tightens the situation of the club, since they are now in sixth place in the table, on the same way with the LASK and only one point in front of blue and white Linz, like further from vienna.at reported.

Head coach Robert Klauß was disappointed after the game and stated that the team had shown too little energy and determination. Despite a dominant way of playing, there was a lack of clear chances. Hartberg took the lead shortly after the break when Rapid was outnumbered, and increased in the 74th minute before Isak Jansson was only able to shorten in the final phase. Klauss called for more commitment from his team because "too few" players had achieved their best form. The next games are crucial for the association because the impending case is in the qualification group if the SCR does not win against the GAK next Sunday. Opposite laola1.at said that the current situation in the Bundesliga as well as in the UEFA Conference League is extremely tense, which increases the pressure on the team.

delicate situation for rapid

Rapid fans are obviously dissatisfied with the current performance of the team, which has already lost four out of five league games this year. The signs could not be less favorable, since they now have to compete against Banja Luka in the Conference League. A defeat this week could endanger the entire season. Klauß emphasized that the entire team had to be ready to master the coming week and find it back into the track of success. "We all have to stick together and see that we can do it," said Hofmann, while the Hütteldorfer continue to fight for their place in the upper play-off.
