Austria: Interesting quarter-final in the Austrian cup!

Very interesting match took place at Stadion Liebenau yesterday when Grazer AK played against Austria Wien in the quarter-final of the Austrian cup.

Due to financial problems Grazer AK were relegated from the top of Austrian football (Bundesliga) to 8th level. Due to that Grazer AK didn't play against Austria Wien since 2007, about 12 years ago.

While Austria Wien has a strong history and great success in Austria (24 times Austrian Champions and 27 times cup winner), Grazer AK had to climb their way up from the very bottom of Austrian football.

This season Grazer AK plays in Regionalliga Mitta which is the 3rd league in Austria.

With a nearly full stadium, 12 295 fans (~ 2000 away fans) they welcomed Austria Wien yesterday for the quarter-final, and Grazer AK won 2:1!

Before kick-off there was some tension between the fans with a few fights. And during the match the away fans tried to reach the home side as well.

Grazer AK had friends from Krefelder FC Uerdingen + NK Celik Zenica, while Austria Wien had friends from Slovan Bratislava and Brno.
