Overview of the match Austria - Estonia:
Austria faced Estonia at the Raiffeisen Arena in the decisive match of Euro qualification, and it was an exciting encounter from start to finish. At halftime the score was 0-1 in favor of Estonia, but in the end the Austrians won 2-1. Austria started to put pressure on Estonia early in the game, and after just 17 minutes, a penalty kick was awarded, which unfortunately Michael Gregoric failed to convert. Estonia responded just 8 minutes later with a successful goal by Rauno Sappinen to put them ahead. A few minutes later Estonian player Markkus Paskotsi earned a yellow card, but neither team was able to use the chances created. Austria came out in the second half with renewed vigor, and was rewarded with a pair of substitutions in Florian Daniljuk and Dominik Ljubicic. In the 58th minute, Estonian Mikel Kyte was also in the book, and it marked a period of dominance for the Austrian team.
In the 68th minute, Austrian Florian Kainz managed to level the score, which their game deserved. In the 78th minute, Estonia made their first substitution, but it didn't bring the expected result.

In the 85th minute, Estonia replaced Rauno Sappinen with Henri Ojamaa, while Austria kept fighting for the decisive goal.
