It starts with theAustria who pushes and the lead comes in the 9th minute. Cross from the left by Mwene, head by Trauner and the ball into the net. The reaction was slow in arriving, the Austrians continued to play the game with Marcel Sabitzer who was the tip of the balance for a team that speeded up the maneuver and put their opponents in difficulty. There Poland he comes forward with a shot from Zielinski (17′), rejected then a low cross from Frankowski crosses the entire penalty area and lands at the feet of Zalewski whose conclusion, however, is out of bounds. The game changes. Probierz’s boys force their opponents to lower their center of gravity and adopt long balls, easy prey for the Polish defense. In the 27th minute Zielinski gave the Austrian defense another thrill and then, in the 29th minute, the equalizer arrived. Bednarek’s shot is blocked, the “gunslinger” Piatek doesn’t have to be asked and puts it in like an authentic area robber (12 center with the Polish national team shirt). L’Austria he reacts with two shots from Sabitzer, the first rejected by the opposing defense, the second (42′) which ends up just wide. In the only minute of injury time, Zielinski’s great shot from a free kick was saved well by Pentz.

The match could have ended here instead Posch sends the Polish goalkeeper flying with a lightning-fast left-footed shot, theAustria he still touches poker with Laimer.
FRANCE-HOLLAND 0-0
Equal without emotions and gasps between Holland and France. Without Mbappé, who remains on the bench as a precaution after breaking his nose, the Galletti drew 0-0 against the Dutch. One point each which doesn’t hurt anyone. What is certain is that something more would have been expected from two teams like this. Equal with two faces. A point that makes both teams smile, as they continue their journey arm in arm towards the round of 16, with the Blues facing Poland in the last match, while Koeman’s men will face Austria. In Leipzig the “big absentee” is Mbappe: on the bench for the entire match due to the broken nose suffered on his debut against Austria. High rhythms from the first minutes, with theHolland immediately dangerous thanks to Frimpong’s escape and his right foot saved by Maignan; while the France he responds with a long-range shot from Griezmann which is blocked for a corner by Verbruggen. Deschamps’ team revs up again and in the 14th minute they will come very close to taking the lead, thanks to the invention of Thuram who with a back heel finds everything alone in the Rabiot area, with the Juventus player who doesn’t kick from close range but attempts a pass to Griezamann, closed by the Orange defense. Own Holland, a little later he shows up again, with Gakpo coming in from the left and shooting around, Maignan still reactive. At the end of the first half the pace of the match seemed to drop, as did at the start of the second half, with both teams studying. He will have the first clear chance of the second half France, with yet another finesse from Thuram favoring Kantè’s suggestion in the area for Griezmann, who was not very precise from close range in controlling the ball and kicking it. The Netherlands therefore remained in the game and in the 69th minute they would find the 1-0 goal thanks to Simons’ long-range shot, but everything was then nullified by the irregular position of Dumfries, guilty of obstructing Maignan in the intervention. The score remains at 0-0 and Deschamps tries to change something in his eleven, inserting Giroud and Coman. In the end the match remained blocked, with an increasingly cautious attitude on the part of the two teams as it approached the final whistle, which arrived without any implications after the five minutes of injury time granted by referee Taylor.
