Wiener Austria causes celebration – dramatic winning turn against Ried!
What an exciting day at the Generali Arena! The eagerly awaited home game of Wiener Austria against SV Ried took place on September 20, 2025. The occasion was “Violet Children’s Day”, which attracted large and small fans in droves. From bouncy castles to face painting, everything was there to delight the young fans. Coach Stephan Helm had big plans and wanted to use the momentum after two wins. But the first half put his team in trouble.
Rieder dominance and Vienna comeback
SV Ried quickly took control of the game, while Austria acted uncertainly. In the 34th minute, Mutandwa took advantage of a defensive error and put Rieder in the lead. Shortly before half-time he stepped up and punished a mistake by the Austria goalkeeper Sahin-Radlinger, which put his team 0-2 behind (45th + 1 minute).
The spectators in the Generali Arena were already worried at this point, but the second half turned things around. Austria came out of the locker room with fresh enthusiasm and the pressure on Rieder grew. Abubakar Barry reduced the score to 1-2 in the 49th minute. In the 77th minute, Eggestein converted a penalty after a VAR check to make it 2-2. And finally Fischer put the finishing touches in the 84th minute when he scored the winning goal after a strong pass from Sanel Salic. Vienna Austria celebrated its third win in a row.
Looking ahead: next derby and commitment to youth
With this victory behind them, Austria is now looking forward to the next big event: the Vienna derby against league leaders Rapid. The fans can already look forward to an exciting duel! Meanwhile, the club's responsibility for youth does not fall by the wayside. Violet Children's Day was a clear step in this direction. The children had the opportunity to see the team up close and draw their favorite players and write down their names for graphics in the stadium. These activities not only promote enthusiasm for football, but also a sense of community among young fans.
Sport offers opportunities for young people
Overall, Wiener Austria's commitment to the young generation is part of a larger trend: sports clubs play an important role in the lives of children and young people. Around half of all children in Germany are members of a sports club. Football is particularly popular among younger people, with around 2.2 million members under the age of 19. Programs like “Violet Children’s Day” support the connection between the club and the young talent and ensure that young people find a place in sport. Tagesschau reports about the ongoing importance of sports clubs for young people.
The current developments at Wiener Austria show that football is not just a competition, but also a place where friendships are formed and the future of the next generation is supported.
