Rapid Vienna reached a 1:1 draw in the friendly match against Union Berlin in front of 19,384 spectators at the Allianz Stadium. The German Bundesliga team took the lead through a goal by Tim Skarke after a goalkeeper error by Niklas Hedl. Claude Mbuyi equalized in the 68th minute after a setup by Andrija Radulovic. Radulovic had hit the post with a free kick shortly before.

In the intense heat, the nature of a friendly match was clearly evident. Rapid Vienna did not show a convincing performance in the first half but improved after the break. In the starting lineup for the Green-Whites were the five new signings Mbuyi, Jannes Horn, Dominik Weixelbraun, Furkan Demir, and Janis Antiste, with another new signing, Jean Marcelin, joining later.

Trimmel Saved Draw Against Rapid Vienna

For Union Berlin, the two former Rapid players Christopher Trimmel and Leopold Querfeld played throughout. Trimmel saved his team from a defeat in the 90th minute with a goal-line clearance from a Marcelin shot. For Rapid, things will get serious for the first time this summer with the second-round first leg in the Conference League qualification away against the Montenegrin club Dečić Tuzi next Thursday.
