FAC overtakes Vienna: 2-0 in the exciting derby!

On October 4, 2025, First Vienna FC and Floridsdorfer AC (FAC) met in the eagerly awaited derby as part of the 2nd league in Austria. The game took place in the Hohe Warte in Döbling at 8:31 p.m. under the direction of referee Stefan Ebner. Before the start of the game, a deceased Vienna supporter, Richard Lugner, was remembered in a minute's silence. The match was special because Vienna celebrated its 130th anniversary that day.

The game ended with a clear 2-0 win for FAC. The goals were scored in the second half after a goalless first half due to both teams' defensive strategies and Vienna's difficulty in generating offensive momentum.

Game progression and key moments

The first 20 minutes were marked by a crucial incident when Noah Bitsche injured David Ungar, who then had to be carried off the field with a suspected ankle injury. This resulted in an interruption of approximately seven minutes.

As the game progressed, FAC was effective offensively and showed strong defensive stability. The key moments were the great chances that both teams had during the game. Evan Eghosa Aisowieren missed a good opportunity for FAC in the 27th minute with a failed lob attempt, while Vienna had an opportunity through Bamba Susso in the 35th minute, which also remained unused.

Despite these opportunities for both teams, it was Tomislav Glavan who scored the first goal for FAC in the 61st minute. Glavan benefited from a pass from Lan Piskule and gave the visitors the lead. The decisive 2-0 came in the 74th minute through Marco Untergrabner after a corner.

Table and outlook

With the win, FAC overtakes Vienna in the table and is now in sixth place. Vienna remains in eighth place with 12 points and is still waiting for its next home win after collecting just four points from the first four games of the season. The FAC, on the other hand, is showing a clear improvement after a weak start to the season with only three points from four games after they previously won against St. Pölten.

The game highlighted Vienna's weaknesses in the offensive area. Meanwhile, FAC was able to use its chances effectively and rely on defensive stability, which ultimately made the difference in the derby.
