It was a thrilling encounter in Düsseldorf. Austria, who had Florian Grillitsch in the starting line-up, fought valiantly against France and would have completely deserved a point against the runners-up from the last World Cup. Former TSG coach Ralf Rangnick’s team got stuck into the challenges and created opportunities, the best of which was missed by former Hoffenheim player Christoph Baumgartner (36). But then France were celebrating only two minutes later – following an own goal from Maximilian Wöber, who headed super star Kylian Mbappé’s ball into his own net. It ended up being the only goal of the game.
Grillitsch, who pulled the strings in central midfield, was substituted in the 59th minute. Despite the 1-0 defeat, the 28-year-old old was in a positive mood after the match: “We can be proud, because that wasn’t just any old opponent but rather the favourite for the tournament. But there are also several things that we need to improve. Our pressing must be more effective, we need to occupy the box better and make the crosses more precise. Overall, we created too few chances for ourselves.”
