SV Ried pulled off a major upset, defeating Rapid Wien 2-1 away from home in the Austrian Bundesliga on December 7, 2025. The shock match result at the Allianz Stadion was one of the surprises of the season and a huge boost for Ried's survival hopes. Against the run of play, Ried took a first-half lead with a well-worked team goal. Rapid Wien equalized from the penalty spot early in the second half, but Ried showed tremendous character to score the winner with ten minutes remaining, a powerful strike from outside the box. The focus point was Rapid's profligacy in front of goal, wasting several golden opportunities. The table impact was significant, dealing a blow to Rapid's title aspirations while propelling Ried further away from the drop zone. The Ried manager called it a "historic win," while the Rapid coach was left furious with his team's lack of concentration.
