Record-breaking national player Sarah Puntigam will remember this performance in the Rieder Innviertel Arena for a long time. The 32-year-old Styrian crowned her 150th international match, for which she was honored by ÖFB President Klaus Mitterdorfer and sports director Peter Schöttel with a framed special jersey with the imprint “150”, with goals 23 and 24 for the women’s national team.
Puntigam secured Austria’s 2-1 (0-0) victory over Slovenia in front of 2,600 visitors with two extremely dry penalties (62nd, 74th). The late goal (96th) also came from a penalty.
After the 3-0 first leg win on Friday, the first of two play-off hurdles on the way to EURO 2025 in Switzerland was overcome with the overall score of 5:1. Chapeau.
