The Bundesliga match held on 05 May 2024 between SK Rapid Wien and Red Bull Salzburg ended in a decisive victory for the home team, Rapid Wien who bagged 2 goals and kept a clean sheet. The victory was a mark of their solid defensive display as well as sharpness in front of the goal in contrast to Red Bull Salzburg's lackluster performance.

On the offensive front, Rapid Wien scored both their goals in the second half of the match. Rapid Wien's two goals at timings 51 minutes, 27 seconds and 72 minutes, 2 seconds shattered the confidence of Red Bull Salzburg, deflating their hopes of a comeback. However, aggressiveness was a concern as Rapid Wien ended up securing a total of 3 yellow cards, two in the second half and one in the first.

On the defensive end, Rapid Wien were immaculate, preventing any conceding goals. However, their aggression also translated to defensive fouls, which were higher than their opposition. Wien engaged in 13 fouls as opposed to Salzburg's 9. Despite the higher foul count, Salzburg's inability to convert their set-piece opportunities into goals was apparent.

The statistics reveal that there was a battle for possession, displayed through the number of corner kicks. Despite the minimal difference, Rapid Wien had an edge with 4 corners compared to Salzburg’s 3, which arguably provided them opportunities to apply pressure on their opponents.

In terms of discipline, both teams showcased aggressive play, but Rapid Wien supremely outperformed in this aspect. Wien had 3 players who received yellow cards, while Salzburg had only 2. This reflected a more aggressive defensive strategy by Wien.

In the perspective of ball control, surprisingly, Rapid Wien was caught offside 3 times, more than Salzburg, who were flagged only once during the game. This might suggest a potential weakness in Wien's attacking strategy, often being too eager to break the opponent's defense, yet achieving victory underlines their effectiveness in capitalizing on meaningful opportunities.

In conclusion, although both teams put forward a spirited fight, SK Rapid Wien emerged victorious due to their potent conversion rate, aggressive gameplay, and the commendable defensive performance that ensured a clean sheet against Red Bull Salzburg. Their ability to maintain pressure and control throughout the match secured them a well-deserved 2-0 win in this Bundesliga clash.
