John Van Seep’s team did not show a good face and had problems with their image for the next matches. El Nacional made a single attempt towards the house, while it was overthrown in just three minutes.
1. DIFFICULT DUE TO HIGH AUSTRIAN PRESSURE
From the first minutes of the match, Austria made sure to lead Greece up the field. This put Nacional out of tune, who lost the ball quite easily with possession passing to the hosts.
After the 25th minute, Greece tried from time to time to move with a somewhat rational development and take advantage of some areas, but again most of the occupation belonged to Austria, with Ethniki generally in a defensive position.
2. WITHOUT THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY THE FIRST PART
The first half, somehow, passed without many opportunities. Austria had possession, but they circulated the ball parallel to home, looking for a possible step. She also used to try to threaten a fixed opportunity.
Greece tried several times to search for movements in the area (usually from Fountas), but without success. Thus, she completed the first part, with Van Sip’s team counting only one final, which did not threaten Pervan.
3. GOAL IN THE FIRST WITHIN THE FINAL GOAL
With the start of the second half, the two teams made several changes, changing various faces. Austria came back in strong, scoring the first major opportunity for Onisivo, who hit an offside header in the 50th minute.
However, Greece was the one that managed to find nets in their first final in goal. Fountas fought Liner in midfield, watched Fortounis move from far away, stepped into the box and with one place beat Pervan 0-1 in the 63rd minute.
4. AUSTRIA turned the game around
After the goal scored, Greece came back and played mainly in defense, giving space to the Austrians. The hosts were able to turn the game around in three minutes.
The 1-1 came in the 77th minute. After Austria’s proper development from the left o Baumgardner took the cross and Gribic tied with a close spot.
In minute 80 came the total overthrow. With a re-created attack from the left, Saub saw Baumgardner’s move as he fired, scoring 2-1.
The hosts looked dangerous even after the surprise, but in the last phase of the match, Ethniki had a chance to equalize, with Bacaceta’s shot coming off.
