WSPG Wels 1:2 Rapid Wien II: 2. Liga Match Result

Match report

Rapid Wien II completed a comeback at the eww Stadium, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat VSPG Wels 2:1 in the Austrian Second League. The visitors had been trailing at half-time but found their rhythm when the game opened up. By then the momentum had shifted entirely.

D. Djezic was the story for the hosts in the closing stages of the first half, firing two goals in as many minutes to send the crowd into a frenzy. The fourth-minute strike at 41' gave Wels the lead, and the second just 60 seconds later at 42' put them firmly in control. The home side played the second half a man up mentally, but that advantage evaporated quickly.

N. Keckeisen pulled one back for Rapid in the 55th minute, and the game opened up after that. R. Kerschbaum completed the turnaround with an 81st-minute strike. The hosts had dominated possession at 57 per cent but their three shots on target compared to Rapid's eleven told the real story. Shots accuracy was another tale entirely — 23 per cent for Wels against 65 per cent for the visitors.

Wels have not won since their 3:2 victory over Liefering last week, and this result leaves them fifth from bottom on four points from five games. Rapid sit one place above them with six points, though their recent form has been inconsistent. They lost 1:3 to Voitsberg on their most recent outing but had won three of the four before that.

Two yellow cards came for the hosts, with K. Schrocker booked late on. D. Djezic was substituted at 90+3 minutes, perhaps a tactical move given his impressive double. The away goalkeeper made just two saves all day, while the home keeper was called into action nine times.
