As if it had never ended: the Austrian women’s team started with the same confidence from the break of Corona as it had before in qualifying for the European Championship: in the debut of Neo team leader Irene Fuhrmann, the team they beat Kazakhstan with 5: 0 and therefore have five wins after five games. Ahead of the afternoon game in qualifying group G between North Macedonia and France, the Austrians are six points ahead of the French.
However, you shouldn’t rejoice too soon: France, the favorite of the group, still has two fewer games on the count, and direct games are only on the program in October and November. It has not yet been determined whether Julia Hickelsberger-Füller will be able to contribute. She had to leave the field with a knee injury in the early stages, but detailed examinations are still pending.
“Work is a lot of fun”
They will probably decide whether Austrians can book a fixed ticket for the EM in England. The first place or the second place that one of the first three points is necessary for it, the other runners-up still have chances in the play-off.
For now, however, Fuhrmann could expect a successful debut, a dominant playful performance and players in goal spirit. Barbara Dunst opened the round with two goals, after which Verena Aschauer, Sarah Puntigam and Nicole Billa found themselves on penalty.
“The result speaks for itself. The team remained calm after Julia Hickelsberger’s initial injury and they more than deserved to win. It is a lot of fun working with this team,” Fuhrmann said. (kind)
