Austria Vienna missed championship title: Dramatic 2: 2 against Linz!

On May 24, 2025, the Viennese Austria competed against Blau-Weiß Linz in the last game of the 2024/2025 season. In the well -filled Generali Arena, which was fully occupied except for the guest sector, both teams were looking for a strong end to the season. The match ended with a 2-2 draw, which not only secured third place for Austria, but also destroyed its title hopes. [vienna.at]

The Wiener Austria needed three points to get the championship title, which, however, remained unreachable by the undecided, especially since Red Bull Salzburg won against Rapid Vienna at the same time. The last championship title of Austria was twelve years ago, a long dry spell for the traditional club, which was completed this season with 36 points in third place in the Bundesliga, behind SK Sturm Graz, who won 39 points.

game course and peat

The match was shaped by several twists. Dominik Fitz gave the home team 1-0 in the 33rd minute with a foul penalty. This first clear chance for Austria was the result of a dominant phase in which they took command about the game but had difficulty creating further opportunities.

After the half-time break, Blau-Weiß Linz had the opportunity to compensate for the 55th minute when a shot from Nik Prelec only went to the shelf. But in the 78th minute Alexander Schmidt managed to equalize for Linz, who celebrated his first goal this season.

a short time later, in the 90th minute, Philipp Wiesinger put a header into the net after an assist from Fitz and placed 2-1 for Austria. It already seemed as if the home team could win the game for itself, but in added time Oliver Sahling equalized with his first goal of the season and thus ensured the final score of 2: 2.
