FC Admira Wacker secured an easy home win over SK Rapid II.
Maria Enzersdorfer defeated Hütteldorfer 3-1 in the play-off match of the fifth round of the 2nd ADMIRAL League and can thus celebrate their fourth victory at the same time. Silberberger's team made the most of the “second chance” because in the first attempt of the match they were trailing 1-2 until it was called off due to rain.

The home side were also the hungrier side in the first half and made it 2-0 through Young (23rd), which also meant the score at half-time, as Rapid II were unable to capitalise on a promising counter-attacking opportunity on the left shortly before half-time.
In the second round, Admira slowed down briefly – only to be struck almost ice-cold: Andersson sent the ball perfectly to the left after a counterattack, but it just hit the crossbar (55th). But in return, Bajlic punished Andersson's bad luck with a goal that hit the crossbar and reduced the score to 2-1 (57th).
But the young Rapid team's high level did not last long, as Alar managed to score a header after about ten minutes from a five-pointer to make it 3-1 (67). Three minutes later, Gashi should have made it 4-1, but it was likely to be offside.
In the end, Admira achieved a well-deserved 3-1 win, and now occupy third place with one match difference. Rapid II is just behind in fifth place.
