Leader of the table for the time being
LIVE from 14:30: Altach must face SK Rapid!
Rapid fought their way to a 1-0 win against Altach in the ninth round of the Austrian Bundesliga. Coach Robert Klauß' team certainly showed the strain of the English week. Dion Beljo's goal in the 36th minute secured the important three points. Altach missed the equalizer despite several good chances. The Hütteldorfer are now top of the table, at least for the time being.
Rapid are still on the road to success. The Hütteldorfer celebrated a 1-0 away win over SCR Altach in the ninth round of the Bundesliga on Sunday thanks to a goal from Dion Beljo (36'), meaning they are now unbeaten in eight competitive games and have also taken the lead in the table, at least for the time being. Should Sturm Graz fail to win the subsequent clash against Red Bull Salzburg, the green-and-whites would go into the international break as leaders.
Altachern, on the other hand, did not experience the coaching effect. Despite the departure of Joachim Standfest and the appointment of interim head coach Louis Ngwat-Mahop, the penultimate team from Vorarlberg have been waiting for a win for six rounds and suffered their third defeat in a row.
Rapid look tired after the break
Rapid used the same starting line-up as in the previous games against LASK and Basaksehir, and it paid off. After initially feeling things out, the visitors increasingly took command. Nenad Cvetkovic headed a Jonas Auer corner just wide (20') and Guido Burgstaller also missed the target by a few centimetres (29').
Seven minutes later, the Altach defense was disorganized, Louis Schaub played Beljo free and the Croatian beat goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic. Only then did the home side get into the game a little better - Mike-Steven Bähre missed from the edge of the box (42'), Gustavo Santos stumbled from around seven meters (44').
After the break, Rapid switched to energy-saving mode and increasingly gave the ball to Altachern, who did not know what to do with it. The Rheindörfler made too many mistakes to seriously trouble the Green-Whites. Neither team created any compelling chances in the second half - until the 91st minute, when Santos headed centrally to Hedl.
