Rapid loses opportunities and remains pale at 0-0 against Altach!
In an exciting but goalless Bundesliga game, SK Rapid and SCR Altach separated 0-0 on August 17, 2025. In front of almost 18,000 spectators in the Allianz Stadium, Rapid missed the third victory in the third game of the Admiral Bundesliga. The encounter was characterized by exciting offensive actions, but despite a superiority in the statistics, the hosts could not hit the network.
The statistics of the game shows that Rapid had 54% possession and gave up a total of 12 shots, compared to 11 shots from Altach. The great chances that Rapid won 3-1 for himself were particularly striking. Nevertheless, Ercan Kara failed in added time with a penalty to Altach's goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic, which increased the frustration in the Rapid camp.
Trainer reactions and strategic adjustments
After the game, coach Peter Stöger said that a 0-0 can be considered in order because the chances were not used. He also noticed that the team acted less dominant in the first half of the game, which could be attributed to the previous, intensive 120-minute game in the Conference League qualification. Goalkeeper Niklas Hedl confirmed the tiredness in the team and also praised the use of his teammates.
Due to the weak first half, Stöger made adjustments at half -time, which show an increase in the second section, but did not lead to the desired efficiency. Another problem child for Rapid was the injury to central defender Jean Marcelin, who had to be replaced after 24 minutes. Stöger fears a longer downtime and emphasizes the importance of the availability of his players with regard to the upcoming playoff first leg in Györ.
A look into the future
Despite the disappointing result, the team has also shown positive approaches, but notes that the exploitation of opportunities in particular urgently needs to be improved in order to be successful in the league. The next goal is to prepare for the upcoming games, while those responsible will watch the situation around the injured players closely.
