Austria Vienna defeats Altach: Drama about coaches and injured stars!

SCR Altach played against Austria Vienna in the Generali Arena on Sunday, August 31, 2025, with the aim of further extending the unbeaten streak from the last four league games. But Austria Vienna was able to celebrate its first win of the season after a difficult start to the season and won the highly dramatic game 1-0. At the meeting, 13,588 spectators saw a game marked by injuries and tactical changes.

Dejan Radonjic scored the golden goal in the 57th minute directly after a corner. For the player it was the first goal in his third professional appearance, which also provided a boost. With this win, Austria Vienna improved to ninth place in the table and collected a total of four points. In contrast, Altach remains in fifth place with eight points.

Injured players and lineups

Altach had to report several injured players in the run-up to the game, including Vesel Demaku (broken collarbone) as well as Ousmane Diawara and Benedikt Zech. Coach Fabio Ingolitsch reacted to this and made four changes to the starting eleven. Alexander Gorgon took over the central striker position for Altach, while Austria's newcomer Sanel Saljic made his debut in the starting eleven, replacing Manprit Sarkaria.

Saljic and Maurice Malone provided the Viennese's first offensive actions, although the team repeatedly suffered from poor finishing. SCR Altach, on the other hand, was only able to create dangerous situations in isolated cases. Yann Massombo's goal was disallowed for offside and Anteo Fatahu had the best chance to equalize with an overhead kick in the 74th minute, but failed.

The shape curve and the outlook

The statistics from the last games of the two teams support their form curves: Altach had two wins and two draws this season, while Austria Wien was only able to get one point from the last four league games. Overall, Altach has been unbeaten in seven Bundesliga games. The historical record shows that Altach has recorded 16 wins against Austria in the past, but Austria has been unbeaten in five league games against Altach.

Austria Vienna coach Stephan Helm is under pressure given this mixed performance and his remaining time in the job could be in doubt. When it comes to injuries on both sides, it should be noted that Austria Vienna is struggling with five injured players, but is still considered “broad enough” to overcome the doubts.

The current player statistics also show that the susceptibility to injuries in football is increasing, not only in Germany, but also in the Austrian Bundesliga. This could be another point that forces coaches and teams to always have alternative lineups ready to stay competitive in the league.

The course of the game and the results will also be discussed in the upcoming VBG sports report, which will be published in August for the new Bundesliga season and contains extensive evaluations of injuries sportreport.vbg.de.
