Rapid Wien were comprehensively beaten 0-3 by Fiorentina in a UEFA Europa Conference League group stage fixture on October 24, 2025. The Italian side delivered a commanding away performance, securing a vital three points that solidified their position at the top of the group table. Fiorentina took control early, scoring their first goal within the opening twenty minutes through a well-worked team move finished by their central midfielder. They doubled their lead just before halftime from a set-piece, and sealed the victory with a clinical counter-attack in the second half. The match was defined by Fiorentina's superior midfield control and defensive solidity, which completely nullified Rapid Wien's attacking threats. The Austrian side had a goal controversially disallowed for offside by the VAR in the first half, which could have changed the complexion of the game. The result left Rapid Wien struggling at the bottom of the group, while Fiorentina moved clear at the summit. The Rapid Wien manager lamented his team's slow start, while the Fiorentina coach highlighted the importance of a strong away display in European competition.
