Historic Derby Victory – A Glimpse Back to 1980
One of the most celebrated moments in the club’s history is the 1980 derby win that has been described as a “Gustostück der österreichischen Fussballgeschichte.” The match, played at the historic Hohe Warte stadium, saw Austria Wien overturn a two‑goal deficit to claim a 3‑2 victory. The board’s archive provides:
