Austria starts with a 0-1 defeat against England in the first of two test matches before the European Championship. The Austrian national team was very committed to the game against the ball, especially in the first half, and tried to disturb England early on. In the second half, too, there were positive approaches that can be used to build on.

Daniel Bachmann Note: 2
He was today’s debutant in the dress of the Austrians. Daniel Bachmann found his way into the game very well and was always present. In a one-on-one situation against Harry Kane, Bachmann was able to parry strongly. In the 44th minute, however, he caused a moment of shock when he “skillfully” let Kane out. At 0: 1 he had no chance. All in all, we are very satisfied with his performance today.
Marco Friedl Note: 3
The Bremer was rather inconspicuous. In the 22nd minute he played a serious bad pass into the center – but this was not punished by the “Three Lions”. Otherwise, however, a passable performance from him.
Martin Hinteregger Note: 2-
Like the entire defensive network, Hinteregger was very busy today. He skilfully passed many balls. He didn’t give the English strikers anything for free and is probably an unpleasant opponent for any attacker. He couldn’t do much with the goal.
Aleksandar Dragovic Note: 3
The future Serbian legionnaire has shown a consistently solid performance in his 90th outing for the national team. You could see the routine in him. With Hinteregger, the former Leverkusen player forms a solid central defense. Against Slovakia, it is now even better to adjust to each other.
Stefan Lainer Note: 3
Lainer acted more often as a companion. Now and then he came too late like in the 16th minute with Jack Grealish. At the beginning of the second half he received the yellow card after a foul on Saka. Otherwise it was also a decent performance by the Gladbacher. Christopher Trimmel came on for him in the 81st minute.
David praise Note: 3
The future Madrilene was always trying. If something went on the offensive through the sides, it was through him – that was also noticeable after he switched sides. Its flanks were mostly harmless. In the 72nd minute, Alessandro Schöpf came on for him.
Xaver Schlager Note: 2-
The Wolfsburg legionnaire acted enormously in the first half and worked tirelessly as usual. He managed to capture a few balls at the right moment. In the game forward, he couldn’t do too much. Julian Baumgartlinger replaced him in the 81st minute. All in all, a solid performance.
Konrad Laimer Note: 2
Beside Xaver Schlager Konrad Laimer played a strong game against the ball. He played a strong pressing and made it difficult for the opponent. The return to the national team was extremely beneficial for Franco Foda’s team. Florian Grillitsch replaced him in the 62nd minute.
Christoph Baumgartner Note: 2-
The balance after the first half of the game: two chances, but none of them really dangerous. Nevertheless, he caused the greatest danger in front of the opposing goal with his attempts. In the 62nd minute, Louis Schaub came for him.
Now Kalajdzic Note: 3-
Kalajdzic was covered very well in the first half and had few scoring opportunities. Shortly before half-time, he tried just outside the 16.5 meter line, but failed on goalie Jordan Pickford. He couldn’t do much in the second half and was replaced in the 72nd. Michael Gregoritsch came for him.
Marcel Sabitzer Note: 2
Sabitzer could be found both in the front and in the back. In the game forward, he didn’t do much in the first half. At 0: 1 he tried to fend off the ball, unfortunately Sabitzer played it unhappily towards Bukayo Saka, who neatly netted. In the 65th minute he had a huge chance on his foot, unfortunately he only hit the crossbar. As always, tirelessly for Austria.
