SAN MARINO (Interstat) — Tirol U16 delivered a surprising 3-1 away victory over Rapid Wien U16 in an Austrian Jugendliga U16 match Sunday at Stadio Fonte Dell’Ovo.

The result defied pre-game projections that heavily favored the hosts. Tirol opened the scoring in the 34th minute through an own goal by Rapid Wien defender Oliver Volf. Rapid Wien attacker Philipp Moizi equalized in the 48th minute, but Tirol’s David Falkner netted the decisive goal in the 68th minute.

The match grew contentious late, with five yellow cards issued in the final 25 minutes, including two to Rapid Wien’s goal-scorers Moizi and Volf. The win improves Tirol’s league record to 4-1, while Rapid Wien falls to 3-2-2.
