Austria Vienna versus Salzburg: A hot duel in the Allianz Stadium!

A hot duel took place yesterday at the Allianz Stadium when Austria Wien met the highly favored Bulls from RB Salzburg. The encounter, which kicked off at 5 p.m. on October 19, 2025, promised not only exciting football moments, but also an important step in the fight for the championship in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Thanks to the live broadcast on Sky Sport Austria 1 (HD), football fans were able to experience the game up close. The game was commented on by Martin Konrad, and the live stream was also available via Sky X for everyone who was out and about. The excitement was palpable as Austria Vienna was in excellent form and had won five of their last six competitive games. Nevertheless, a shadow hovered over the statistics: the last win against Salzburg dates back to May 2018.

Game history and highlights

The encounter started with a bang: Yorbe Vertessen gave Salzburg the lead in the 6th minute. Just nine minutes later, another goal from Nene gave the Bulls an early 2-0 lead. But Austria didn't let it get them down and reduced the deficit in the 20th minute when Malone put the ball into the net. The joy was short-lived, however, as the Viennese team had two more goals disallowed due to offside positions - a bitter pill for the fans.

Salzburg was dominant in the first half, but Austria showed fighting spirit and had a few good opportunities, which they fought for with passion. However, the decisive accents were set by Salzburg, who stood defensively stable and repeatedly countered dangerously. In the second half, the Bulls' defensive performance became even more impressive, which meant that Austria were unable to score any further goals.

Table position and outlook

After the final whistle it was 3-1 for Salzburg, giving the team another step towards the table, with them now in a three-way battle for the title with Sturm Graz. Salzburg remains in second place with 21 points, just three points behind league leaders Sturm Graz, who are still unbeaten. The 2025/26 Bundesliga season promises to remain exciting until the last game, with a total of 70 games still to be played and the fight for places becoming more intense than ever.

But it won't be easy for Austria Vienna either: with the loss of this important game, the team falls behind and urgently needs to get back together. Coach Stefan Helm expressed his desire to end the Bulls' winning streak and the return of key players such as Tin Plavotić and Kang-hee Lee should help turn things around.

Conclusion

Yesterday's game will go down in the annals for both RB Salzburg and Austria Wien fans, not only because of the result, but also because of the exciting, albeit tragic, moments that took place. Salzburg remains a serious competitor in the title fight - and for Austria it is now time to roll up their sleeves and keep fighting!
