Austria and Poland face off at Euro 2024 looking to boost their Group D hopes after opening-round defeats.
Ralf Rangnick’s side pushed France close in Dusseldorf, suffering a 1-0 defeat in a scrappy contest after Kylian Mbappe’s broken nose.
While Poland were undone late by Wout Weghorst and the Netherlands, despite grabbing the lead through Adam Buksa. Robert Lewandowski could return for Poland, with coach Michal Probierz maintaining “there is a big difference if you have best player in the world on the bench or you have him on the pitch.”
Austria captain Marcel Sabitzer is embracing the pressure from what he has defined as a must-win game: “If we follow our principles and are intense, and if we bring all that on the pitch, then we have a good chance of winning tomorrow.”

The commentary of the match
Euro 2024: Poland 1-3 Austria
94 mins
It’s a procession in the final couple of minutes as both teams wait for it to end.
The final whistle goes and Austria have a brilliant win and a vital three points! Their match against the Netherlands should be very interesting now, and they’ve done their ‘dark horses’ tag no harm in Berlin.

CLOSE! A great chance out of nowhere for Poland. It’s an inviting cross from the right towards the back post and Grosicki is unmarked, but he can only skew his volley wide.

The Austrian fans want a penalty as the cross from Schmid is blocked, but nothing doing for the referee.
Austria are dominating the ball in the final exchanges. Poland can’t seem to get near them, let alone create anything of substance in attack.

CLOSE! So close to 4-1 as Austria attack again. It finds Wimmer on the left and there’s plenty of space behind the Poland defence, which Laimer is making the run in to. Wimmer slips it through to him and he’s one-v-one; he skips past Szczesny but he can’t find the finish, eventually rolling the ball almost across the goal line and just past the far post!

Szczesny was booked for the challenge that led to the penalty, and we’ve had six cards so far.
Worth remembering that Poland will be eliminated if this result stays the same and the Netherlands beat France.
Austria have a great chance as Posch arrows a shot towards the far corner, but Szczesny does brilliantly to come across and put it behind for a corner.
