Triumphant Austria Tops Group F with Stunning Victory – High Stakes Duel for 1st Place

2023-09-12 21:10:00

Three minutes of madness to make the difference. A superb header from Michael Gregoritsch (53rd) then a great recovery from Marko Arnautovic (55th). Before a third goal scored from the penalty spot by the same Arnautovic (69th) to make Austria triumph in Sweden (1-3). It was following having suffered for a long time once morest the Swedish opportunities that the selection of Ralf Rangnick won this shock which was already decisive for qualification.

The consequences are indeed already disastrous for the Swedes (6 pts) who now find themselves seven lengths behind Belgium and Austria (13). However, there will only be nine points left to take, in October and November. Suffice to say that they would need a miracle (for example, score 9 out of 9 and hope that Belgium or Austria only take one point out of 9) to qualify via one of the first two places in this group F .

Duel for 1st place

Which means that we almost officially know the first two of this group largely dominated by Belgium and Austria (Azerbaijan and Estonia have only one point). However, it remains to be seen who will finish in first place, synonymous with an advantage for the draw for the groups at the Euro.

The answer will be partly known during the Devils’ next match… in Austria. The two leaders – who were balanced on June 17 in Brussels (1-1) – will face each other on October 13 in Vienna. And if Belgium wins, it will take a real option to win this group F, before concluding with two home matches, once morest Sweden (16/10) and Azerbaijan (19/11).

Qualifying in Vienna

The icing on the cake: a victory in Austria would allow Tedesco’s men to mathematically validate their ticket for Germany and Euro 2024. See you in a month…
