After a goalless first half at the 3 arena in Stockholm, the Austrian guests could take the lead in the 62nd minute – through an own goal.
Hampus Finndell directed in Louis Schaub's pass.
It was a fairly harmless situation, really. It's just unfortunate that it happened. I just thought I'd scoop it up, says Djurgården goalkeeper Jacob Rinne to Disney+.
Djurgården pushed for an equalizer, but the towering Rapid defense made sure Djurgården never got any good opportunities.
We shouldn't lose this match, 0–1 is not what we should take with us, says Oskar Fallenius to Disney+.
But it's about scoring goals. It's something we need to work on before the return match.
The return match is played in Vienna in a week.
Djurgården is the first Swedish team in a quarterfinal in European football since the 1996–97 season when AIK lost to Barcelona in the then Cup Winners' Cup.
