Poland are the first team to be eliminated from Euro 2024 after a 3-1 defeat against Austria

Austria achieved a notable victory in Berlin as they triumphed over Poland, marking their first win of the Euro 2024 tournament. The match saw Gernot Trauner, Christoph Baumgartner, and Marko Arnautovic shine as they secured a 3-1 win for their team.

The Austrian squad commenced the game at a blistering pace, demonstrating an aggressive attacking style that bore fruit within 10 minutes. Philipp Mwene delivered a precise cross to the near post, allowing Trauner to execute an exquisite header and put Austria in the lead.

Despite the initial setback, Poland rallied and managed to level the score with a goal from Krzysztof Piatek following a cross that induced chaos in the penalty area. Notably, the introduction of veteran striker Robert Lewandowski infused the Polish team and provided a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

However, Austria swiftly regained the lead through a goal from Christoph Baumgartner, skillfully set up by Alexander Prass and finished with finesse. The match was effectively sealed when Marcel Sabitzer was fouled in the box, resulting in a penalty converted by Marko Arnautovic with composure, cementing Austria’s victory.

Furthermore, Poland’s fate was sealed with their elimination from the competition following this defeat, coupled with additional results within their group. This result, in contrast, marked a significant turning point for Austria’s Euro 2024 campaign, providing them with momentum and optimism for the challenges ahead.
