At the other end of the table, Blau-Weiß Linz/Kleinmünchen fell to First Vienna in a seven-goal triller which keeps them bottom of the table.

First Vienna FC 1894 vs FC Blau-Weiß Linz/Kleinmünchen In what can accurately be described as a thriller, in front of the largest domestic crowd of the week at the Hohe Warte Stadium, First Vienna beat Linz 4-3. The record for the fastest goal in the ÖFB-Frauen Bundesliga was set by Croatian striker Karla Kurkutović as she opened the scoring with a clean finish after just 21 seconds. The new record was subsequently beaten the next day by Austria Wien’s Modesta Uka against LASK. However, things didn’t go to plan for First Vienna, who found themselves 3-1 behind after some impressive work from Linz. Luisa Schubert, Lea-Sophie Nimmrichter and Anika Hofschweiger all scored goals within seven minutes for the Blau-Weiß. First Vienna managed to retain some grip on the game as they took the score line to 2-3 at half-time thanks again to Kurkutović. The second half saw Peter Gansters’ First Vienna side appear much calmer and tactically aware. Kurkutović completed her hat-trick, taking her league goal tally to five this season. It was Austrian Lara Höcherl who grabbed the winning goal to secure three very important points for First Vienna. The home fans set off celebratory flares and could be heard playing their signature bagpipes as their side saw out the victory. First Vienna now sit in sixth, whilst Linz lament in last place.

The goal from Uka was scored in the 14th second of the game, making it the fastest goal in ÖFB-Frauen Bundesliga history, beating the record that was set the previous day by First Vienna’s Karla Kurkutović. Yvonne Weilharter, who has been enjoying a run in the starting 11 for Austria Wien, grabbed their second goal shortly after.

The tension remained throughout the game, culminating in Graz assistant manager Jakob Felix Gschwandner being handed a red card at the end of the match. It was the ever-consistent Brigitta Pulins who scored the all important goal for the league leaders.
