Red Bull
Salzburg defended their four-point lead at the Austrian Bundesliga after
drawing 1-1 against Rapid at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna.
The "Ernst Happel Stadion" in
Vienna has proved to be “unlucky” ground for "the greens". In last four
matches played during last two seasons they have failed to manage a win over
the "bulls". Two defeats and two draws.
After a quiet half hour, only the
woodwork denied Rapid`s captain Stefan Hofmann from opening the score. By the
end of the first half Rapid`s Schaub hits the post with header from a
magnificent Kainz cross.
But even solid Walke could not prevent the opener only one minute into the second half. Schaub exchanged
passes with Kainz on the edge of the area and calmly sent a left-footed finish
into the bottom corner. Third goal for the talented Rapid`s striker, who was
out for the most of the season due to series of injuries.
The Rapid`s goal woke up the visitors. Strebinger
kept Soriano's curling strike out of the top corner with a fingertip save. The defending champions got the equalizer
15 minutes from final whistle. Duje Caleta-Car headed Ulmer curling cross into the
back of the net. For Croatian defender that was first goal of this campaign.
Both sides had chances to win the match,
Rapid came closest to finding the net before the final whistle when Alar dragged a shot wide from a good opening created by
substitute Schobesberger.
