Johanna Czech gave team boss Sven Lindemann’s selection the lead in an exciting game after a penalty corner with a well-placed shot through the opposing goalkeeper’s pads (23′), but Anna Tantschenko managed to equalize (35′) for the Ukrainians This means that they are still in the race for a place in the semi-finals.
At the end of the preliminary round, the still flawless Polish women (9 points) await in a direct duel for group victory on Saturday (9 a.m., live on ORF Sport +). In the event of a defeat, the ÖHV selection (7) could be pushed out of second place by Ukraine (4). For the Austrians, in addition to a European Championship medal in Berlin as reigning vice world champions, it is also about the World Cup ticket for 2025, for which at least sixth place at the European Championship is required.
