The game took a spectacular end in the extension: In the 95th minute, Schaub-also known as "Euro-Louis"-shot into the far corner to 2: 1. As kicker.de reported, pressed nothing during the entire extension. This strong comeback now heralds the next round where Rapid meets Djurgården, which could prevail against Pafos.

In another important game, Rapid recently proved to be less serious: at Omonia Nikosia, the Viennese only achieved a 1: 2 despite playful superiority. The chance of a win was thwarted by several missed possibilities and a decisive counterattack by the hosts. According to Kicker.de, the Rapidler often did not find the necessary capital from their possession and seemed at a loss against the compact defensive of the Cypriots. Both results illustrate the challenges that Rapid faces each other in the current season, but Europe success could bring new motivation.
