Overview of the match Austria v Sweden:
The qualifying match between Austria and Sweden for the European Championship took place at the famous Ernst Happel-Stadion. The game began with great excitement, but it was the Austrian team who started it not very well: defender S. Posch got a yellow card in the 12th minute. The first half ended 0-0. At the beginning of the second half, Sweden made a substitution: A. Ekdal came on instead of J. Carlström. Soon after, Austria made two substitutions: S. Posch and J. Adamu left the pitch in place of M. Wober and M. Arnautovic. The change seemed to work to Austria's advantage as they started to apply pressure and create chances. In the 59th minute Austria made one more substitution: P.Wimmer substituted M. Sabitzer.
Sweden tried to get back into the game. In the 76th minute, A. Isak and E. Forsberg were replaced by V. Gökeres and J. Karlsson respectively. Unfortunately, Sweden's efforts proved to be insufficient against Austria's solid defence. On 81 minutes, K. Baumgartner of Austria found a breakthrough opportunity and scored the first goal of the match, stunning the Swedish team and the fans. Sweden tried to get back into the game and made two late substitutions in the 87th minute: M. Svanberg and D. Kulusevski came on instead of W. Klaesson and A. Elanga respectively. However, another Baumgartner goal in the 89th minute was crucial for Austria and ensured their victory. In the end, the match ended 2-0, and Baumgartner became an Austrian hero by scoring the two decisive goals. The match was full of drama and excitement, and both teams gave it their all. The fans at the Ernst Happel Stadium witnessed a superb performance from the Austrian team, who proved stronger on the day.
