90′
Austria wins unspectacularly 2-0 away against the Faroe Islands. In the first half, the game was quite open, although the guests were able to book more parts of the game as expected. Laimer took care of the tour based on Kara’s presentation. For their part, the home team could always be dangerous after high balls.
After the break, the Austrians followed suit with a deflected shot from Sabitzer. The final result was sealed after 48 minutes. There were many changes on both sides and one or the other good chance. Substitutes Ljubicic and Schaub made for considerable playful moments. In the end, the youngster Demir was allowed to collect a few minutes.
The real test then follows on Tuesday with the away game against the unbeaten Danes, who incidentally are still without conceding a goal after seven games!

85′
Austria breaks away well from their own half via Schaub and Sabitzer and combines well into the penalty area. Ljubicic still has a good finish ready, which forces Gestsson to parade.
82′
Kara first asserts herself well on the wing and then has an eye for the free Sabitzer. Its conclusion then depends on an opposing defensive player.

The leading goal scorer Laimer is allowed to leave the field after 77 minutes and Ljubicic is making his team debut!

Corner ball series for the hosts. There are always good opportunities to graduate, but the Austrians can clarify so far as part of the network.
68′
Both coaches use the first changes, the Faroe Islands three times. With Agnarsson and Olsen there are even two attackers for defensive players on the field. Full risk!

62′
Played just over an hour and Austria now looks much safer. The game against the ball works better now and therefore the Faroe Islands are less likely to enter the dangerous zones.
57′
Bar! Kara drops a ball from Kainz and hits the framework from a distance. All in all, a good game from the Rapid striker.
54′
Gestsson clears a slightly deflected shot from Kainz with his foot.
51′
After a series of corners, the Austrians claim handball. The VAR checks the scene, but it goes on without a penalty.
48′
Goal for Austria, 0-2 by Marcel Sabitzer
Perfect start for Franco Foda’s team in the second half! Sabitzer fights for the second ball, pulls directly from a hook from a good 20 meters and sinks the ball into the goal via the inside bar. However, the shot was still heavily deflected.
46′
Both teams have returned to the pitch unchanged, the second half is on!
46′
The second half kicked off
45′
Austria leads the Faroe Islands 1-0 after 45 minutes with a goal from Konrad Laimer. In a very interesting game, as expected, the guests had the greater share of the game and were able to combine themselves again and again via a very agile left side. However, the lead was achieved on the counterattack, after a one-two between Laimer and Kara, which the Leipzig legionnaire successfully completed after 26 minutes.
For their part, the Faroe Islands even had better chances overall. Again and again, simple high balls were enough behind the Austrian defense chain to cause disorder. Edmundsson and Joensen appeared dangerous several times in front of Bachmann, who was able to save several times.
There is still a lot of work to be done for the second half if Franco Foda’s team wants to fly home victoriously.
45′
End of 1st half
45′
Yellow card for Florian Kainz (Austria)
45′
Onisiwo lets clap on Kara, who fails alone in front of Gestsson. The angle was quite acute, but the conclusion was still too central.
45′
Official injury time (minutes): 2
42′
Laimer lays the ball too far in the penalty area, but is also decisively disturbed on the last steps. A penalty would have been possible.
40′
Edmundsson appears again dangerously in the Austrian penalty area, but fails with his graduation in the end due to a defensive leg.
36′
The game has calmed down a bit in the last few minutes. The Austrians basically have the game under control, but are always surprised by the long, high balls Faroe Islands.
30′
Alaba tries on the ball at rest, setting the free kick about one meter over the crossbar.
28′
Yellow card for Viljormur Davidsen (Faroe Islands)
The foul person also sees the yellow box.
28′
Austria tries to follow up immediately. Onisiwo takes a free kick right in front of the edge of the box after a foul by Davidsen.
26′
Goal for Austria, 0: 1 by Konrad Laimer
In return, Austria countered the leadership! Laimer sends Kara deep on the journey, who lays back across the Leipzig legionnaire in the penalty area and just has to push it in.
25′
The Austrians do not get the high balls of the Faroe Islands under control at all: Joensen with the next dangerous finish just over the gate.
22′
Again Edmundsson comes behind the chain after a high ball and has another huge chance to take the lead, but fails again to Bachmann, who can fend off with his foot in dire need.
20′
First with his head after a flank, then from a distance with a flick – Kara tries twice but cannot create any real danger.
17′
Alaba can only clear the first into the out, Bachmann will certainly have the second attempt.
15′
On the other hand, Grillitsch intervenes after a throw-in, but brings the Faroe Islands a corner.
13′
Sabitzer brings a good cross after a fluid combination with Alaba and Kainz. In the middle, Kara and Onisiwo just missed the ball, but it could work that way!
8′
Great opportunity for the Faroe Islands! High ball hit the Austrian back four, but Joensen and Edmundsson fail in two attempts at Alaba and Bachmann.
6′
Yellow card for René Joensen (Faroe Islands)
After a foul on Hinteregger there was an advantage, afterwards the referee gave the warning.
6′
Yellow card for Odmar Færø (Faroe Islands)
The central defender sees the yellow card for the dangerous game.
5′
Kara falls in the penalty area after a rustic entry from Færø and the referee decides on a penalty at the first moment. Shortly afterwards, however, the assistant correctly points out an offside situation.
3′
As expected, Austria tries to gain control of the game in the first few minutes. Grillitsch gives the deepest part in midfield, Sabitzer and Laimer are at least one line ahead.
1′
The ball is rolling! The home team plays in white and blue, the guests in black and white.
1′
Start of the game
The teams enter the field, incidentally on artificial turf. Both hymns will be playing shortly, then it starts here!
Kainz and Onisiwo will provide pressure via the wings mentioned. The former in particular shows good early form at Cologne and has thus played back into the national team.
About the playground means franc fuck: “We will have a lot of possession, we want to show a lot of presence in the box. With the ball we will act in 4-3-3, against the ball in 4-2-3-1. Faroe Islands are defensive in a 4-5-1 very compact. We have to show a lot of intensity with and against the ball, act over the wing and the half-spaces and provide depth. “
The Austrians are the big favorites, but a surprising defeat would have an interesting side effect: the Faroe Islands would draw level with seven points in the group.
The decision for the Rapid striker is justified franc fuck as follows: “He came to the team with a lot of self-confidence and also presented himself well in training.”
In the last game before the international break, he managed a hat trick against WSG Tirol.
The line-ups are there and Ercan Kara can celebrate his starting eleven debut. Ilsanker starts alongside Hinteregger in central defense and Alaba is likely to use his learned position as a full-back.
In Landskrona there is a duel for Franco Foda’s team in which you cannot win, but which must be won. After a weak September training course with a smack in Israel and a home defeat against Scotland, the signs were already set to say goodbye to the team boss.
A month later, the personnel situation in the coaching bench is unchanged and the team has to achieve a mandatory victory. The service providers Baumgartner and Arnautovic have also canceled. Against the Faroe Islands it will probably have to judge a stronger B-Elf, because the group favorite and EM semi-finalist Denmark is waiting on Tuesday.
Anything but a clear victory would be a surprise nonetheless, kick-off is at 8:45 pm!
