Test match defeat for Rapid: The Bundesliga team were beaten 2-1 by second division side FAC at the Körner Training Center on Friday. 

Rapid coach Robert Klauß was unable to call on a number of national team players. Jonas Auer, Guido Burgstaller, Nenad Cvetkovic, Lukas Grgic, Louis Schaub and Serge Philipe Raux-Yao were also given a break due to their numerous games in recent weeks. 

Nevertheless, the game started as planned from a green-white perspective. After an assist from Benjamin Böckle, Noah Bischof slotted the ball into the net in the 10th minute to make it 1:0. Rapid then missed some good chances. 

And that took its revenge! Marcus Maier equalized for the FAC in the 54th minute. Just under 20 minutes later, the Floridsdorf team were celebrating again when Noah Bitsche got on the end of a free-kick to make the final score 2:1.
