SK Rapid Wien edged out SV Ried 1-2 in the Bundesliga, taking the points despite being outshot. Ried had 18 shots to Rapid's 12, but the visitors were the more clinical side.
Jannes Horn put Rapid ahead in the 8th minute, but Stefan Schwab levelled for Ried in the 74th, assisted by Ante Bajić. Within three minutes, Moulaye Haïdara restored the lead, assisted by Niklas Hedl, and Rapid held on. Late yellows for Bendegúz Bolla and Martin Rasner followed in the 86th minute.
The decisive statistic was in goal: Rapid's keeper made eight saves while Ried's made just one, and the hosts' 1.30 xG went unrewarded. Despite 18 attempts and nine on target, Ried could not force a draw. Rapid's 54% possession and 434 accurate passes underpinned a controlled away performance.
