VIENNA (Interstat) — Austria Wien’s under-18 side secured a 3-1 victory over Burgenland U18 in a Jugendliga U18 match on Sunday, March 1, 2026, at Stadio Fonte Dell’Ovo in San Marino. The result, which closely mirrored a pregame statistical projection, saw the visiting side from the capital use a pair of second-half goals to pull away after a tense opening period.

The match, part of Week 7 of Austria’s top U18 youth competition, began with physical play, as Burgenland’s Niko Frasz received a yellow card in the 20th minute. The infraction proved costly just three minutes later when Austria Wien’s Dejan Radonjic opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. Radonjic was promptly booked for his goal celebration a minute later, setting a testy tone that would see five total cautions issued.

Austria Wien carried its 1-0 lead into halftime, but the match was far from settled. The visitors doubled their advantage early in the second half, with Luka Izderic finding the net in the 50th minute to give his team a more comfortable cushion.

Burgenland, however, demonstrated resilience. Just eight minutes after falling behind by two, Frasz atoned for his earlier yellow card by scoring in the 58th minute, cutting the deficit to 2-1 and reigniting the contest. The goal offered hope for a home side that has struggled this season.

That hope was extinguished in the 83rd minute, as Austria Wien’s Nermin Bajraktarevic netted a decisive third goal to seal the outcome at 3-1. The final score confirmed the prediction of Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 3-1 Austria Wien win. The organization’s ELO rating system had also given Austria Wien a 54 percent probability of victory prior to kickoff.

The win improves Austria Wien U18’s record in the Jugendliga U18 to two wins, one draw and zero losses this season. Across all competitions, the team remains undefeated with the same mark. For Burgenland U18, the loss is its 11th in 13 league matches this campaign, with only two victories. Its overall record across all competitions mirrors that difficult league form.

Austria Wien entered the match following a 1-1 draw with St. Pölten U18 on Feb. 1. Burgenland was playing its second match in as many days, having fallen 2-0 to Vorarlberg U18 at home on Saturday.

Looking ahead, Austria Wien U18’s schedule shows a lengthy break before its next contest, a home match against Wolfsberger AC U18 on April 8. Burgenland U18 faces a quick turnaround, traveling to face St. Pölten U18 next on Friday, March 6, as part of a demanding closing stretch to its season.
