Already in the first group stage matches from Saturday, it became evident that there would be a very tight battle for the two semifinal tickets in each group. The perfect weather conditions and excellent pitch conditions ensured high-quality youth football from the outset.

In Group B, Austria Vienna and RB Salzburg ultimately secured their places in the semifinals with authority. After the team presentations and the playing of the national anthems, the two semifinals took place in front of a well-filled grandstand.

This was followed by the placement matches before the big final kicked off at 4:30 pm. The Bulls from Salzburg took an early lead of 1-0, but an extremely exciting game unfolded. When the Mozart City team increased the lead to 2-0, the signs pointed to tournament victory, but Admira Wacker did not give up and scored a goal to set up an exciting final phase.
