Cup win against Rapid
“Unbelievable!” Austrian buries Rapid’s title dreams
It was an Austrian of all people who was responsible for Rapid's embarrassing Cup exit on Wednesday evening. Dejan Radonjic, who is currently on loan to SV Stripfing, the partner club of the "Veilchen", shot the second division club into the quarter-finals in a complete surprise: "It was unbelievable!"
Dejan Radonjic was in the right place after a cross that the Green-Whites were unable to clear. He finished with a dry finish to make it 2:1 - there was no stopping the underdogs. "The win was surprising. We were all very happy, it was just a great feeling," said Radonjic in an interview with the "Krone" two days after the sensation.
Did the Hütteldorfer, who were without numerous regular players, perhaps underestimate the second division club? "Yes, I think so a little," said the 19-year-old defender. Who, above all, gave his coach, former Austria hero Alexander Grünwald, a dream evening. "He said that anything is possible in a game. We should keep believing until the last minute," said the Stripfing coach, providing extra motivation for Radonjic and Co.
"Were all very tired"
With success - in the end, they sensationally advanced to the last eight, where TSV Hartberg now awaits. However, they did not celebrate for long: "We were all very tired. We have another game on Saturday (editor's note: against FAC), we now have to focus on the league again."
