Half-time conclusion:
After the defeat against Turkey, the DFB team also disappointed in the neighborhood duel against Austria and is behind 0-1 after a weak first half. The Nagelsmann team struggled from the start against the immediately motivated and committed Austrians and were hardly able to mount any attacks of their own in the first half. With a lot of pressure on the German defense, the Austrians revealed the problems in the back line of the DFB selection and repeatedly created a goal threat by winning the ball in the German half and using long balls. In the 29th minute, Sabitzer also scored the deserved 1-0 for Austria, who met a disorganized German defense after a moment of transition and scored.

…has space again and creates another scoring opportunity for Austria with a cross from the right. The ball goes across the penalty area and lands at Baumgartner on the left. The Leipzig player aims for the right crossbar and gives the ball a little too much right-hand spin.

The hosts want to go into halftime with a 1-0 goal as a goal and play the last few minutes before the break in a controlled manner. Now Laimer…

Now Austria slows down a little and manages the 1-0 lead with more possession of the ball and safe passes in their own half. Germany is still too safe.

Great for Austria, 1-0 by Marcel Sabitzer
Vienna celebrates the 1-0 win for Austria! A long ball into the center is enough to tear apart the German defense. Baumgartner sends Sabitzer from the middle to the left, who then loosely and easily dances past Tah on the edge of the box. The Dortmund player then takes the shot and hits it flat into the near corner! Too simple…
27′
9:15 p.m
The result is a kind of sham control from the DFB. The Nagelsmann team sets the direction with possession of the ball, but the chances are not for Füllkrug and Sané, but for Austria.

9:13 p.m

There’s not much going on for the German offensive at the moment. The DFB team can’t find a way through the front against the attentive ÖFB defense, but they have to be even more careful about losing the ball when moving backwards.

Great opportunity for Austria! Gregoritsch runs through a gap between Rüdiger and Hummels and is free in front of Trapp after a lob from midfield. The DFB goalkeeper immediately runs out of his box and uses his quick presence to prevent the ball from being hit and clears it with one hand.

Individual quality is undoubtedly present in the DFB team – it just needs to harmonize together and function better in defense. In his line-up, national coach Julian Nagelsmann is once again relying on Kai Havertz as left-back. Mats Hummels is also new to the back four, playing alongside Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah. Leon Goretzka also joins the team on the double six for Joshua Kimmich. Serge Gnabry (for Benjamin Henrichs) also gets a new chance.
8:09 p.m
In addition to Ralf Rangnick, who is supposed to help the Austrians advance as an experienced football expert and concept developer, the ÖFB selection shines in its successes, especially thanks to their export hits from the Bundesliga. The Red and White squad is filled with numerous prominent players from Germany who, like their coach, raise the individual quality of the former football dwarf to a higher level. Today alone there are eight Bundesliga legionnaires in the starting line-up at the ÖFB.
