In this competitive 2. Liga encounter, SK Rapid Wien II edged out SV Stripfing/Weiden with a narrow 3-2 victory. A decisive factor was Rapid Wien II's more clinical finishing, as they converted their key opportunities, particularly in the first half where they managed to overturn an early deficit. SV Stripfing/Weiden initially gained momentum with an early goal but struggled to maintain their lead due to Rapid Wien II’s tenacity and quick response with two goals before the halftime whistle.

The second half intensified with both teams grappling to control the pace of the game. Rapid Wien II extended their lead shortly after the break, capitalizing on a lapse in defensive cohesion by Stripfing/Weiden. Despite their best efforts and pulling a goal back to narrow the scoreline, Stripfing/Weiden couldn't find the equalizer despite creating chances. The home side’s five corner kicks were indicative of their persistent attacking efforts, yet they fell short in breaking down a resolute Rapid Wien II defense.

Discipline and physicality played a significant role in the match dynamics. Rapid Wien II accumulated four yellow cards, showcasing their aggressive approach in midfield battles and defensive commitments. Meanwhile, Stripfing/Weiden maintained greater discipline, only receiving a single yellow card. This difference in fouls and card tally suggests a more focused approach from Stripfing/Weiden, but it was ultimately their inability to capitalize on defensive errors that cost them. Rapid Wien II's ability to effectively counterattack, underscored by their higher corner count, proved pivotal in securing the three points.
