Well-organised defence
Fifth-placed Rapid missed the opportunity to close the gap on the sides above them in a match where they created precious few opportunities. They have now failed to score in four matches and it took some smart saves from goalkeeper Helge Payer to earn them a point in the end.
Frustration boils over
Rapid's frustration boiled over in the closing stages of the game as Ante Jazic and substitute Rene Wagner both received red cards in the final four minutes. The draw lifts Admira level on points with Schwarz-Weiss Bregenz, although they remain bottom.
