Pushing hard, Romania celebrated a surprising 3-2 victory in Austria in the UEFA Nations League, which fell short of their recent strong performance.
Austria – Romania: this was the game
The game in brief
The guests got off to a much better start in Klagenfurt. After Florinel Coman’s preliminary work, Denis Alibec advanced to the celebrated lead after just three minutes. The ÖFB-Elf quickly recovered from this. Christoph Baumgartner finished off with a volley to make up for the well-deserved compensation. With 1: 1 he also entered the break.
But even at the beginning of the second half, Romania surprised the frozen home team. Dragoş Grigore dusted himself off after a long free kick from close range to 2-1. But that is not all. Alexandru Maxim compounded Austria’s misery with a wonderful lifter after a Stefan Posch blackout. Austria seemed lost and could not find a suitable recipe. Karim Onisiwo brought the ÖFB-Elf back with his head, but it was no longer enough to equalize.
