Ukraine 0 - 1 Austria | Euro 2020, Group C | 21.06.21

Austria triumph 1-0 over Ukraine in Bucharest to progress from group C., The Austrians edged the close affair with a goal from Baumgartner midway through the first. Still, they could easily have won by a wider margin with their commanding first-half display. Italy awaits Foda's men in their first taste of tournament knockout football since the 50s.

The game maintained its lively start throughout the first. Austria, who started the day in third place, enjoyed the lion share of possession and occupied positions in the final third. They went close with early efforts from Sabitzer and Dragovic before scoring the winner in the 21st minute. Alaba, who had already delivered a series of menacing corners, curled one into the path of the onrushing Baumgartner. The midfielder stretched to make contact, finishing past Bushchan in goal.

Shevchenko's men rarely threatened and were fortunate to be only one behind at the break. Laimer had a goal-bound effort saved minutes before Arnautovic squandered two opportunities, the first far more egregious.

Ukraine, energised by their halftime rollicking, began with more intent. However, clear cut opportunities were scarce; their only opening came from a freekick that forced Bachmann into action after the ball cannoned off his teammate.

Toward the close, the tie became tense and error-strewn. Austria looked most dangerous, threatening to extend their lead from fast breaks, but neither side came close in the remaining minutes. This result leaves Ukraine waiting anxiously on other fixtures, but with 3 points and a negative goal difference, this appears to be the end of their EUROs adventure.
