Austria Beats Poland in Euro 2024 Thriller
Baumgartner and Arnautovic Shine in Crucial Victory
Austria started the match aggressively under Rangnick's guidance, taking the lead within 10 minutes through a fine header by centre-back Trauner. Despite Austria's early dominance, Poland managed to equalize on the half-hour mark when Krzysztof Piatek reacted quickly to score from a loose ball after Rangnick's side failed to clear a corner.
Poland brought on Robert Lewandowski in the second half, but their hopes of securing a victory were dashed when Baumgartner finished off a neat move to restore
Austria's lead. Arnautovic then extended Austria's advantage with a late penalty, securing a 3-1 victory.
Christoph Baumgartner was pivotal for Austria, scoring their second goal and driving the team forward throughout the match. Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski's tournament hopes were marred as he failed to make an impact after coming on and received a yellow card.
Next, Austria will face the Netherlands on Tuesday, aiming to secure a spot in the knockout rounds. Poland, on the other hand, face France, knowing that their chances of advancing in the tournament are slim following this defeat.
