Rapid enters the return leg with a commanding lead after a comeback 4-1 away win. Although the hosts held the game in suspense for a long time, with the score tied 1-1 until the 82nd minute, Rapid's class showed in the final minutes. The Austrians demonstrated their depth when substitutes like Mullaiye Haidara and Petter Dahl secured the win. It's important to note that Rapid's budget is 15 times larger than the Estonian club's, demonstrating a colossal difference in skill.
Paide are unlikely to have any chance against their opponents in Vienna. They need to recover three goals, but against such an opponent, that seems a near-impossible task. The Estonian club will now turn their attention to the league, where they need to recuperate after a five-goal away defeat to Harju. The home advantage at the Allianz Stadion and the support of the stands will give the hosts extra strength to take control of the game from the outset.
