Advantage Austria

Austria Vienna defeated Rosneborg with narrow 2-1 in the first tie of the Play- Off for the Uefa Europa League. Everything looked like a perfect “violet” day until the 92` when Reginiussen headed the cross into the Almer`s back of the net.


After unconvincing first half in front of 6000 spectators Fink`s side netted two quick goals in the start of the 2nd period to take a huge 2-0 lead.  Grünwald stroke from the distance for an explosion of joy. Two minutes later it was Brazilian Pires who coolly converted a perfect counterattack.

The hosts have managed to keep the Norwegians at the bay. Larsen cleared from th line, and in the dying minutes efforts from Gutkyaer and Helland didn’t hit the target. But it was the Rosenborg`s defender Reginiussen who scored an important away goal that lives the tie wide open.

-      - We are pleased with the victory, we are going to play for a win also in Trondheim – said Austria`s Vienna manager Torsten Fink.

The 2nd tie will be played next Thursday at Trondheim.
