Austria

The Austrian national team ran out 2-0 winners against Slovakia in Bratislava. Stefan Lainer marked his international comeback after his recovery from lymph node cancer with a place in the starting XI, before being substituted at half-time. Maximilian Wöber (photo: IMAGO/GEPA pictures/ Johannes Friedl) came on at the break, ensuring that there was Gladbach representation throughout the game. Leipzig’s Christoph Baumgartner scored the fastest international goal in recorded history with a remarkable solo strike after just six seconds, before Andreas Weimann added a second in the 82nd minute to secure victory for Ralf Rangnick’s side.
