Rapid cheers thanks to « Euro-Louis » against Banja Luka-Diepresse.com

Rapid also awarded Borac Banja Luka opportunities in the round of 16 of the Conference League, scored aluminum three times. The first time through Louis Schaub Already after in the first minute, previously Dion Beljo failed from the fifer on the goalkeeper. The Hütteldorfer, as in the first leg with captain Matthias Seidl Only on the replacement bench and surprisingly with Moritz Oswald As a left -back, followed. With a quick and precise combination game, they usually put the deep opponent under pressure over the right side. Eight shots in the sixteen in the first 20 minutes were unsuccessful.

Pech comes to inability

Even the heavy rain that started after a quarter of an hour did not slow down the green and white flow. After a corner kick, the Hütteldorfer were again unlucky. Isak Jansson hunted the ball on the crossbar for a second time, the confusing scenes afterwards did not lead to success, as did the storm and urge phase at the end of the first half. 24 attacks by the Rapidler led the statistics during the break.

Grün -Weiß continued with the dominant game in the second half – and hit aluminum with a bar shot from Wurmbrand (49th) for a third time. In the 61st minute, the 19-year-old ran a counterattack and completed himself instead of serving one of two very well positioned players.

An old football wisdom should come true again: with the first shot, Borac took the lead through Sandi Ogrinec (66.). Just four minutes later, Grün-Weiß gave the answer with the equalization by Beljo, but it took until the extension before the deserved rise after the 1-1 was fixed in the first leg: Louis Schaub once again became “Mr. European Cup ”, scored worth seeing for 2: 1 (96th) – his 19th goal on the international stage. It is not for nothing that he is paid homage to the green-white appendix as a « euro-louis ».

In the quarter -finals, Rapid will deal with Djurgården (total of 3: 1 against Paphos) on April 10th and 17th. (Red/APA)
