Ried – The first competitive game of this year was a serious blow for Rapid. The Hütteldorfers suffered a 3-0 away defeat against SV Ried in the cup quarter-finals on Saturday, the goalscorers were former Green-White Ante Bajic (2nd) and Nikki Havenaar (61st, 84th). This meant that new coach Johannes Hoff Thorup’s competitive debut was a failure, and Rapid will have to wait at least another year for their first cup title since 1995.
