Austria’s women had the luck of the hard

In the new UEFA Nations League for women, not only is a desirable title being played apart from the World Cup and European Championships, it is also about the two European tickets for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. To do this, you need to win the group in League A and win the semifinals.

If Austria were to achieve this, it would be a huge sensation. The road to the city of love is rocky, but not hopeless, as the 1:1 (0:1) draw at the start of the competition in Oslo against World Cup round of 16 side Norway underlines.

After a rather weak first half of the game, Irene Fuhrmann’s team not only took a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Karina Saevik (26′), but also missed the chance of a penalty (4’/Guro Reiten forgiven), increased significantly and luck was forced. “Joker” Eileen Campbell scored wonderfully to make it 1-1 (72nd) after Laura Feiersinger’s preparatory work.

Immediately afterwards, Freiburg legionnaire Annabel Schasching from St. Aegidi came into the game and had to do a lot of defensive work in the final ÖFB defensive battle. Norway struggled with two shots on the crossbar (88th, 89th).

“We wanted to take something with us, and we succeeded. We invested a lot and exploited some opportunities. I’m satisfied,” said ÖFB team boss Fuhrmann. France is coming to Vienna on Tuesday (6:30 p.m., ORF 1). Then around 8,000 fans are expected.

World champion Spain won the first match after the kissing scandal involving former association boss Luis Rubiales in Sweden 3-2. The decision only came in the 96th minute with a penalty goal.
