The WAC were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Vienna's Austria. Wolfsburg had more of the play and the better chances. "Unfortunately, that's soccer," said coach Didi Kühbauer. Here are the comments on the match:

Dietmar Kühbauer (WAC coach): "Austria had a situation that they played out well. We didn't take our chances. Unfortunately, that's soccer. When you look at those 90 minutes and have to say afterwards that you leave the pitch as losers, it really hurts. I can't blame the team for much, regardless of whether they played with or against the ball. Unfortunately, we didn't reward ourselves, even though we should have won the game given the opportunities and the style of play. But when you're on a run like Austria are, you win a game like this once in a while."

Stephan Helm (Austria coach): "It was an extremely difficult game. We found it very difficult to get into it. We adapted a few things during the break and then things got better, especially against the ball. Apart from the pressure phase at the end, we kept our opponents away from goal better. We wanted to do as well more often as we did in the move that made it 1-0. But that also meant we ate dirt together and overcame difficult phases. That's also a quality."
