While Austria appears fresh, led by Alaba in top form, the Ukrainian players appear tired and slack.” Corriere dello Sport: “Austria is challenging Italy. The Austrians in Bucharest are a compact team with quality, confident in their ideas, tough in defense and full of energy in midfield. To advance, Austria had one option - to win. Foda's team believed in success from the start and the victory came with a high-quality performance." Tuttosport: “Austria is a national team that emerged in the Bundesliga. His top footballers play in Germany, the team dominates with Alaba and makes it to the duel against Italy. There are no naive teams in this European Championship from a tactical point of view and Austria certainly isn't, as Baumgartner's goal attests." Greenhouse Courier: “Behind Austria is the Bundesliga. Ukraine, who were considered favorites at the start of the match, never showed up. Foda’s team is a mix of youth and experience, 21 of 26 players were in the Bundesliga last season.” The Republic: “Who knows what happened to Shevchenko and his pale, lost Ukrainians against Austria. The Austrians are the surprise winners of a match in which they showed strength and conviction.
