Austria Vienna celebrates 3-0 win and prepares for UWCL!

In the domestic league, FK Austria Wien achieved an impressive 3-0 win against First Vienna FC last Sunday. The game took place in the Generali Arena and attracted 826 spectators, who were able to look forward to a good game by the Violets. The referee Heike Leitinger conducted the match without any major controversy.

Coach Stefan Kenesei's team took the lead after just three minutes. Maria Agerholm headed the ball to find the support of Almedina Šišić, who placed the ball perfectly. A number of chances were missed as a result, with Šišić as well as Agerholm and Schöffel being denied by the First Vienna FC goalkeeper. On the other side, Austria goalie Jasmin Pal had to overcome two difficult situations, but saved the Violets from a possible goal.

Late goals and increasing confidence

The players went into the dressing room with a half-time score of 1-0 for Austria Vienna. In the 74th minute it was Lena Triendl who increased the score to 2-0 after a corner. Just ten minutes later she scored a brace and made it 3-0. This victory not only gives the team confidence, but is also important preparation for the upcoming UEFA Women's Champions League qualifier against Paris FC.

But the Violets' international commitment is not just limited to the next round. Austria Wien will face Glasgow City in the semi-finals of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Women’s Champions League next Wednesday at the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna-Favoriten. Should they win this crucial game, there is a good chance they will advance to the third qualifying round. Tickets for this encounter are already available in the fan shop and online for 10 euros (5 euros for children), which of course increases interest in this international appearance. Coach Kenesei expressed his excitement for this first international appearance and emphasized that the team wants to do everything it can to make history.

A look into the future

It should be mentioned that USC Landhaus already tried to qualify for the UWCL in the 2018/19 season, but did not make it past the first round. This time the Violets have the opportunity to do better and the first hurdle is to be overcome on Wednesday against Glasgow City. If it doesn't work out, there is the option of going into the second qualifying round of the newly created UEFA Women's Europa Cup.
