The Austria Wien Post
Match20 Sep 2026
The wait goes on for Austria Wien
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Still nobody has beaten Austria Wien
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

One of those days for Moses Usor
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

No hiding place for Ibrahim Buhari
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ibrahim Buhari, and the manager let it.

Lee Kang-Hee falls out with a teammate over standards

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kevin Junuzovic and Austria Wien agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Honours even between Austria Wien and Red Bull Salzburg
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Austria Wien pick somebody else ahead of Manprit Sarkaria
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.

Alexander Alaba on the point
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Alexander Alaba after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
In brief
- The dugout Manprit Sarkaria asks for a word with the manager
- Looking ahead Reinhold Ranftl goes back to face Sturm Graz
- Market The clock does Ibrahim Buhari’s negotiating for him
