The goal came in the 18th minute of the first half from a breath taking assist from Marcel Sabitzer. The midfielder pinged in a beautiful cross-pass ball into the penalty box which was attacked by Stefan Lainier at the far post. The striker met the ball with a first time touch and volleyed it acrobatically past the goalkeeper to give Austria the lead.
