And just like that, Austria’s hopes for a special tournament come to an end. Even their head coach Ralf Rangnick couldn’t believe it. Here he is, speaking to UEFA:
💬 “We didn’t have the necessary luck and I believe if the game had gone to extra time, we would have won. We had time to score an equaliser, but it’s difficult when they have Gordon Banks in goal!”
“We didn’t make enough of our own chances and we didn’t defend their set-pieces well enough.
“The four games we played were very entertaining, including today. Not everything went very accurately, but they were four very entertaining and intense games. Now we need to take this with us into the Nations League and then into World Cup qualifying.
“I cannot believe we are going home today, we thought we were going to continue our journey.”
