Vienna 2-1 (AET) Berlin
By: Saad Maan
The Grenzkrieg rivalry promised us a lot. It was one of the few ties to result in extra time drama so far this season, and it lived up to the hype. Although the scoreline over two legs may suggest that it was a slow matchup, it was everything but. From missing managers, horrible tackles and organised defensive play - it was a joy to behold. Vienna left the first leg with a 1-0 lead after Bradley Keetch finished a lovely move in the 60th minute. He would then minutes later have a chance to double his tally and the lead, but would miss the open net. Going into the second leg there was no fear of complacency from Vienna, and Berlin made sure to punish them. The scoreline was 1-1 and the game was headed for extra time. As each and every player battled for the ball and space, it was none other than Bradley Keetch who'd make up for his missed chances and win the game for Vienna in the 109th minute. Experts and fans alike favoured whoever made it through this tie to win the entire cup, and I can't help but agree. The defensive approach is a proven way to sort out the chaos-inviting approach of Madrid.
