Marcel Sabitzer lashed home to earn Austria a thrilling 3-2 win against the Netherlands on Tuesday (Jun 25) and send his team through top of Euro 2024 Group D, ahead of tournament favourites France and the third-place Dutch. All three nations are through to the last 16 but Ralf Rangnick's intense Austria side showed why some consider them dark horses to win the tournament for the first time on a rollicking afternoon in Berlin.
Donyell Malen's own goal sent Austria ahead but Cody Gakpo pulled the Dutch level early in the second half.
Romano Schmid headed home for Austria with Memphis Depay pegging them back once more, before Sabitzer settled the frantic, end-to-end tussle.
Rangnick made four changes for Austria from the side that effectively knocked out Poland, with defender Gernot Trauner, who scored in that victory, injured, while Christoph Baumgartner also netted and was left on the bench.
