FK Austria Vienna: Comeback victory against Linz secures the place in the table

In the first weekend of November, FK Austria Vienna shows an impressive team performance after an initially difficult start. The home game victory against Blau-Weiß Linz was hard fought, but ended with a 2-1 for the purple and consolidated their strong autumn season. Despite a deficit at half -time, the team under coach Stephan Helm proved that they can overcome setbacks.

The game started anything but optimal for the Viennese. In the first few minutes it was difficult to find into the game. Blau-Weiß Linz, well-set by coach Gerald Scheiblehner, showed himself to be a serious opponent. Linz came to the first chances, and even Austria had a way through Dominik Fitz, which the goalkeeper Radek Vitek could thwart. In the 30th minute, Linz used inattention in defense and deservedly took the lead by Simon Seidl.

These substitutions paid off, and in the 52nd minute Maurice Malone achieved the equalizer to 1: 1, which gave the fans new enthusiasm. Just a few minutes later, Nik Prelec increased to 2-1 and crowned a beautifully played action of the violets.

the Austria remained offensive and pushed for another goal, but the third goal should not fall. In the final phase, Blau-Weiß Linz pushed for the equalization, showed himself to be combative, but could not find a successful conclusion.
