Market

SV Ried say no — this time

The offer from Austria Wien for Andreas Leitner was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Stefan Hierländer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at SV Ried this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Christopher Wernitznig falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

SV Ried see off Grodig

Three points for SV Ried, 1‑0 the final word against Grodig in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Bogdan Popov leaves them behind him

Shots: 10. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Michael Sollbauer

19 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Ante Bajić at his very best

Marked 8.04. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at SV Ried.

Player ratings

Mateo Trejos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

SV Ried and Philipp Pomer are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Andreas Leitner

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Yusuf Maart shuts the door

Defensive actions: 28, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Andreas Leitner signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Andreas Leitner commits to SV Ried for another 3 years.

Stefan Hierländer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at SV Ried this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Philipp Pomer comes home

The shirt still fits. Philipp Pomer is back at SV Ried, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Yusuf Maart falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

SV Ried supporters have found a favourite in Kingstone Mutandwa

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kingstone Mutandwa has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

SV Ried find a way past Rapid Wien

Rapid Wien made SV Ried work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
