Match

6 matches without a win for Rapid Wien

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Rapid Wien are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Jonas Auer runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Marin Leovac

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Rapid Wien will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout

Nikolaus Wurmbrand gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Rapid Wien caught on 94 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Sturm Graz scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Market

Talks stall between Rapid Wien and Matthias Seidl

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Matthias Seidl

7.89, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Rapid Wien had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Loan watch

Yusuf Demir has seen enough of Altach

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Rapid Wien, and 11 appearances in 12 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

Đorđe Jovanović dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

A brace, and Ercan Kara takes the afternoon — 8.93

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ercan Kara provided it, and the 8.93 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match

5 matches without a win for Rapid Wien

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Rapid Wien are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Jonas Auer beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A row about effort at Rapid Wien

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tobias Gulliksen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

SV Ried snatch it back from Rapid Wien

A goal on 94 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match

Rapid Wien and SV Ried take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Rapid Wien pick somebody else ahead of Đorđe Jovanović

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

Furkan Demir's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Rapid Wien needed to.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Rapid Wien

Something was said to Michael Krmenčík and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A falling-out at Rapid Wien

Bendegúz Bolla and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

The step up is real for Amīn-Elias Gröller

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Looking ahead

All roads lead to Austria Wien

The fixture the calendar is arranged around. Form goes out of the window, the table is not consulted, and for ninety minutes Rapid Wien will be judged on one thing only.

Squad

Home is on Marco Tilio's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Rapid Wien are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

6 new faces, and Rapid Wien are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings

Petter Nosa Dahl stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.13 on the card, and the Rapid Wien support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

Julian Lienhart: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout

Rapid Wien pick somebody else ahead of Đorđe Despotović

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

Jonas Auer runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Santiago Pierotti

Rapid Wien asked and Lecce said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Rapid Wien make their move for Arne Maier

$6.3M on the table at Ujpest. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

Grodig come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Rapid Wien did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Jonas Auer runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Niklas Hedl signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Niklas Hedl and Rapid Wien agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Rapid Wien

Bendegúz Bolla was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Eyes on Marco Tilio again

The phone has started ringing about Marco Tilio again, and this time the name on the line is Western Sydney Wanderers. Rapid Wien are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

Rapid Wien come up short against Mattersburg

Mattersburg left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A row about effort at Rapid Wien

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tobias Gulliksen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
