SV Ried breaks the curse: first away win in Hütteldorf!

Today, December 7th, 2025, SV Ried achieved something historic. After 44 unsuccessful attempts, the team won for the first time in the Austrian Bundesliga in Hütteldorf against SK Rapid Wien. [5min] reports that the game took place on the 16th matchday of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga and was an exciting duel, characterized by numerous interruptions that noticeably affected the flow of the game.

SK Rapid started the match furiously and took the lead in the 31st minute thanks to an early goal from Louis Schaub. But SV Ried was not discouraged. Just eight minutes later, in the 39th minute, Maximilian Steurer equalized and made the score 1-1. After the break the drama continued.

A turning point in the second half

Things got exciting in the 54th minute: a foul by Rapid goalkeeper Gartler on Rieds Bogou led to a penalty for SV Ried. This was confidently converted by Aleksandar Pomer and ensured the decision. The 2-1 win for Ried was thus sealed, which not only meant three points for the team, but also a significant boost in the rankings. [Kicker] points out that with this win Ried is level on points with Rapid and underlines the improvement in performance after they last defeated WAC.

After the game, the picture at Rapid is murky. The team has not been able to win in two games under interim coach Kulovits after the dismissal of Peter Stöger and only has one point in the last five games. Despite a more offensive orientation in the second half, Rapid failed to break Rieder's style of play. A header from Schaub in the 49th minute, which went over the goal, also illustrates Hütteldorfer's difficulties.

A game full of interruptions

The match was marked by many interruptions, including injuries to key players. Auer had to be substituted in the 14th minute and Leitner received medical treatment in the 64th minute. Ried also relied on time play and strategic delays, which was a thorn in the side of the Rapid supporters.

Overall, SV Ried's victory shows that anything is possible in football and games against big teams like Rapid Vienna are always a special incentive. The fans can be excited to see how the two teams will develop in the coming weeks and whether Rapid will finally get back on the road to success.
