Guido Burgstaller put Rapid ahead after 15 minutes with a diving header (15′), the “Veilchen” turned the game around with a double strike from Andreas Gruber (28′) and Haris Tabakovic (31′), before Roman Kerschbaum equalized before the break (43rd).
Even before the break, Denso Kasius and Tabakovic’s emotions were running high, those of the green-white defender apparently did not calm down even in the half-time break, because the Dutchman saw the red card after a foul on Reinhold Ranftl (47th).
After that, Austria had more of the game, but Rapid also had chances. Tabakovic gave the guests the lead again (78′), but a free-kick from Marco Grüll ensured the final score (83′). Three minutes later, Austria’s Tabakovic also flew off the field with yellow-red. In the table, Rapid is one point ahead of Austria in fourth place, third LASK is four points away.
