No winner at the Tivoli
LIVE from 5pm: WSG Tirol must face Rapid
WSG Tirol drew with SK Rapid on matchday 14 of the Austrian Bundesliga. There were no big highlights on Saturday and no goals, with a 0-0 draw for Grün-Weiß on their way back to Hütteldorf.
Rapid gave away two points in the 14th round of the Bundesliga. The second-placed team from Hütteldorf were held to a 0-0 draw away to WSG Tirol on Saturday, leaving them five points behind leaders Sturm Graz and missing out on their third consecutive competitive win despite having a clear advantage in chances. WSG, in tenth place in the table, extended their lead over the straggler duo of Altach and GAK, who are in action on Sunday, to four points for the time being.
The first attacking action of the game belonged to the home side in front of 2,450 spectators. Tobias Anselm appeared alone in the Rapid penalty area but failed to beat goalkeeper Niklas Hedl. The assistant's flag went up for this action, but the goal would probably not have been disallowed for offside, as TV images suggested.
Rapid superior, but missed chances
After that, it was just Rapid playing, but with too little focus on the final goal. The Tyroleans closed in in front of their penalty area and the Hütteldorfer's ball strikes often turned out to be a futile art. Nevertheless, there were a few dangerous moments: Bendeguz Bolla set up Dion Beljo, whose cross was headed towards goal by Matthias Seidl with a direct chest shot, but WSG keeper Adam Stejskal was on the alert (28'). Five minutes later, Louis Schaub struck the bar with a swivel shot.
The Whites continued to work their way through their defensive opponents after the break - to no avail. Beljo had already beaten Stejskal, but Jamie Lawrence saved from the line (52') and Guido Burgstaller missed the far corner (64'). Rapid were unable to create any more danger in the final period, meaning they missed out on their twelfth win in their 13th competitive match against the Tyroleans and still only have one away win in this league season. The fact that Rapid have now gone ten rounds unbeaten was little consolation for the visitors.
