The Rapid players celebrated at Vienna derby on Sunday in front of the West Block, the 2-1 victory. In the background, firecrackers from the Austria sector could be heard.
The mood of celebration was still unbroken. But that was soon to change. Austria “fans” fired a flare into the middle of the main stand. The firecracker landed on the east stand, where usually Families and children sit.
Countless others followed, meaning that there was not only fire in the stands.
Riots and storming of the pitch
While the audience waited to find out where the police were, the situation in the Allianz Stadium in Vienna-Hütteldorf escalated, Numerous people stormed the field.
Fans from both camps tried – and after some time finally succeeded – to leave their sectors.
Similar to the 3-0 win in February, there was a skirmish. This time, however, it was much longer and more intense. “We, the coaches and the players, were faster than the emergency services“, wondered Rapid coach Robert Klauss.
About ten minutes passed before the police intervened.
At least one seriously injured after derby
Pyrotechnics and other objects were thrown, and there were isolated scuffles. At least one person was seriously injured. The fan was taken away with a bloody head.
Rapid on probation, Austria not
Even if it is clear this time how the escalation began, the scandal could end with a Minus point for Rapid end. The Hütteldorfers are – in contrast to Austria – still “on probation”. Klauß commented: “That was my first thought: In the end, we will be the ones who suffer and will have to accept this negative point.”
Stewards did not have the situation under control, the police intervened very late and positioned themselves on the center line. Only then did the situation calm down.
The situation was limited to the inner area of the stadium, and there were no incidents around it, the police later informed KURIER in response to a query. The fans of both clubs then made their way home separately.
“Hold those responsible to account”
Rapid Board Steffen Hofmann struggled for words: “When you see things flying towards our family sector, it’s not funny. You try to do the best you can.”
Guido Burgstaller says: “Perhaps more police will help. Those who caused this should be held accountable and banned from the stadium. Such people have no place in stadiums.”
Austria-Coach Stephan Helm: “You have to separate them. What is happening overshadows the sporting aspect. You can’t just sit idly by.”
The Burgenlander goes on to say: “It is shocking to me that such riots can occur in a country like Austria. People have to be afraid, they cannot come here with their families. They ask themselves where the solutions are from the relevant institutions. The platform of football is being used for other things here.”
