After winning the first leg of the Semifinal 1-0 with Mungo Scruyazelv's banger, Vienna are facing Norden at home in the second leg with a massive away goal advantage.
Both teams started countering from left and right but failed to create any goal - scoring chance in the final third as the first half ended with 0 shots from both sides and absolutely nothing happened inside these 45 minutes.
After a boring first half and some slight tactical adjustments at the break, Norden opens the scoring in the 58th minute. Massimo Cruz starts a counter-attack from the halfway line and passes the ball to Harden, without thinking twice, Harden immediately sends a through ball to his captain Andrew Tate behind the Vienna defence. Tate scores the goal in the bottom right corner and levels the game 1-1 on aggregate.
The game was going to extra time but Norden lost their patience and started pressing high up the pitch to score another goal, but as soon as they lost possession, Vienna started a deadly counter-attack during the 74th minute and there was no one behind for Norden to defend. Moritz Hoffmann receives a long ball from his partner Loørd Bendtner and Hoffmann immediately starts running towards the goal as he was 1v1 against the keeper. The Norden goalkeeper comes out and makes a save, but the powerful shot from Hoffmann still goes into the back of the net. After scoring the equaliser, Vienna started panicking and moved all their players to defence, including the strikers, to stop Norden from scoring another goal. The game ended 1-1 as Norden players were exhausted, and the subs came on very late.
