The match kicked off with a swift start, as Ried’s defender David Bumberger found the net, granting the home side an early lead, just two minutes after the opening whistle.
However, Boateng showcased his prowess, equalizing for First Vienna with a well-timed strike three minutes before half-time.
The second half saw an assertive Ried side regain control, with Ivorian forward Wilfried Kwassi Eva reclaiming the lead shortly after the restart. The pressure continued to mount as Belmin Beganovic extended Ried’s advantage in the 75th minute.
