The hope that Ried would catch a similarly weak Klagenfurt team as in the 2-0 win in the quarter-finals of the cup did not come true.
Klagenfurt let Ried have the ball and waited for mistakes and quick transitions. Jaritz missed the first top chance on the counterattack (28′), nine minutes later the Carinthians were celebrating.
It was turbulent, the Klagenfurt protested violently after a Seiwald foul against Timossi-Andersson. When Gemicibasis free-kick from the side, the assignment was not correct, and goalkeeper Samuel Sahin-Radlinger fended off the ball too centrally. Klagenfurt’s central defender Ivan Saravanja was there and used the rebound from around ten meters against the direction of the goalkeeper to make it 0-1. Defense chief Tin Plavotic was also missing, who had to give up after receiving an elbow check in the final training session. But Ried found the answer. Nene, who kept showing how dangerous he was, made a wonderful fit into Stefan Nutz’s run, whose shot went right into the far corner (49′).
Huge excitement at the Klagenfurt team when the Ostermiethinger Dietmar Muckenhammer intervened at the VAR – and the yellow card that the referee had given for Dario Pecirep after a foul on Markus Lackner became red (64th). Klagenfurt withdrew even more after that, the Innviertler hardly got through. A useful free kick (82nd) was the greatest Rieder chance. Now you have to catch up on the win against Sturm Graz.
