Rapid wins Vienna derby 2-0 – celebration in front of empty stand
Published
SK Rapid Wien won the Vienna derby against Austria 2-0 on Sunday. It is Rapid's first away win in this derby since May 2025. For the club's fans, the victory was especially important because it was a win on the opponent's ground.
The derby is one of the best-known football matches in Austria. Both teams come from Vienna and have a long-standing rivalry. That is why the game is followed with great interest every time, not only in the capital but across the whole country.
The situation in the stands was particularly striking. The Rapid players celebrated the win in front of a section of the stadium that was closed to supporters. The so-called Kurve, where the active fans usually stand, remained empty. The reason for this is a penalty imposed in connection with earlier incidents.
For Rapid, the win is an important success against their city rival. Austria must now analyse their performance following the defeat. Further information about the players, the line-up and the upcoming matches is expected in the coming days.
