Grazer AK and Austria Wien shared the spoils in a ferocious Austrian Bundesliga derby, with both sides squandering leads and a combined eight yellow cards telling you everything you need to know about the standards on show.

WSG Tirol were simply the better side from first whistle to last, putting three past a toothless SK Rapid to take all three points in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Grazer AK took all three points at Rheindorf Altach despite being second best for large stretches, scoring twice in the first half to secure a 2-1 win. Altach had more of everything except what matters: goals.

Grazer AK ended the match with ten men and their goalkeeper as their best player, holding out a Wolfsberger AC side that hit the woodwork three times and failed to convert a dominant display into a single goal.

Sturm Graz host city rivals Grazer AK on Sunday 18 October in a derby with real edge. One side is building something. The other is carrying serious baggage into enemy territory.

SK Rapid arrive at Friday's Austrian Bundesliga fixture on the back of four wins from their last five, averaging over three goals per game. Hartberg have not kept a single clean sheet in their last ten matches and that is a serious problem.
