Once again: Vikings dominate in "Battle of Austria"

The Vienna Vikings once again prove they are the best team in Austria. For the seventh time, they have won the "Battle of Austria" against the Raiders Tirol, who must continue to wait for their first victory in the prestigious duel.

The game, which was marked by heavy rain, started promisingly for the visitors. However, the Raiders ruined their first drive with unnecessary penalties. Something, which was repeated frequently throughout the game.
