The Lower Austrians, who had won the Cup every year since 2013, had been eliminated by Austria in the second round. On Thursday, at the revitalized Wiener Sport-Club grounds, Austria dictated the lively match from the start, but were criticized for a lack of efficiency in front of goal. The young Salzburg women initially kept a clean sheet, defending with luck and skill and weathering many dangerous situations following set pieces. However, counterattacks by the Cup final debutants were few and far between.
