Grodig pulled out sensational win in Vienna

Bottom placed Grodig pulled out a surprising 2-0 win over Austria Vienna in Generali Arena. Goals form Sulimani and Ofous in second half ensure vital points for Salzburger in survival battle.



It was “all violet “in first 45 minutes, the home side pushed hard for opener but Grodig`s keeper Swete pulled off a string of fine saves to frustrate Torsten Fink's men.  He denied efforts from Holzhauser, Merlinger, Venuto and Shikov and managed to keep his team alive.

Just after the break Roy Kehat`s close-range header was kept out by Swete. Then it were the visitors who cheered. Holzhauser blunder in area was punished by Sulimani.


His only 4th goal of the season, opened the way for only second away win in this campaign. Austria eventually recovered their composure and began to take control of the game without creating too many opportunities.

In the dying minutes Austria get caught with the classic counter. Ofosu sealed the victory after run on the right side from substitute Roman Wallner.
