Austria exits the ÖFB Cup: penalty shootout decides
Published
The Vienna football club Austria, which many fans also call the "Veilchen" (Violets), has been eliminated from the ÖFB-UNIQA Cup. The team wanted to keep playing in the next round, but the advance did not happen.
The match ended 1-1 after regular time and extra time. Extra time is additional playing time when no winner has been determined after the normal game. Since no further goal was scored, a penalty shootout had to decide the result. In a penalty shootout, each team takes penalties in turn, and whichever team scores more goals advances.
In the penalty shootout, the opponent prevailed 5-3. For Austria, this means the end of its participation in the cup competition. The defeat is especially disappointing for the team and its supporters, because the team fought for victory until the very end.
For Austria, the focus now lies primarily on the league season. The cup is a second chance at a title for many clubs, but in Austria this competition ends early for many teams. Fans will now hope that the team finds its form again in the coming matches.
