FK Austria Wien had to take a very hard defeat against Atletic Bilbao on the last matchday at the UEFA Europe League. At the 0:3 Austria Wien was the better team until Bilbao scored the 2:0 after the second disastrous decision. After this goal there was heavy riots and a pitch invasion in the austrian Horr Stadion followed by a 20 minute break. The high peak followed with the 3:0 when the norwegian referee gave a goal after a clear offside.
