In the third game, the Viennese manage the hoped-for first victory. So you can continue to hope for the knockout phase of the Europa League.
Rapid celebrated the first sense of achievement in the Europa League group H in the third attempt. The Hütteldorfer prevailed on Thursday evening in a duel between two record champions with Dinamo Zagreb with 2: 1 (2: 1) and drew level with the Croatian series champion on points. Marco Grüll (9th) with his 10th competitive goal this season and captain Maximilian Hofmann (34th) scored before the break. A goal from Mislav Orsic (24th) was not enough for the Croatians.
The home win in front of 22,300 spectators in the Allianz Stadium was the reward for a strong performance and a clear increase in chances for Rapid. The Viennese, who had previously remained pointless and goalless against Genk (0: 1) and at West Ham United (0: 2), reported back in the promotion race. In addition to Zagreb and Rapid, Genk also held three points for the time being, but the Belgians met West Ham (6) in the evening game. In Europe, Rapid will continue on November 4th (9:00 p.m.) in Zagreb.
