A goal by John McGinn five minutes from time prevented the victory at Hampden Park in Austria (2-2) and gave Scotland the draw, in a match on the first day of the European Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
The Austrian team
was always ahead. He had controlled the game, but the local team led by Steve
Clarke reacted to each setback so that the game had an electrifying end at the
start of the Playoffs.
It was Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic who led Austria. I
score both goals. The first goal made in the 55th minute, to which
Grant Hanley responded in the 71st and then in the 80th.
However, five later, McGinn beat Alexander Schlager to avoid the visitor's
victory.
At 85 minutes, the Aston Villa player performed an acrobatic
maneuver and scored from 'chalaca' to seal a good result for Scotland.
Denmark won:
Switzerland and Denmark won as visitors in their start in the European qualifying phase for the Qatar-2022 World Cup, this Thursday, by beating Bulgaria (3-1) and
Israel (2-0), respectively.
Less than a quarter of an hour was enough for the Swiss to
decide their match in Sofia, as all their goals came in the first twelve
minutes, with goals from Breel Embolo (7th minute), Haris Seferovic (10), and
Steven Zuber ( 12). Kiril Despodov (46) signed the honor goal for Bulgaria.
Switzerland is thus the first leader of group C,
waiting for the other match of the day in that key, between Italy and Northern
Ireland in Parma.
For their part, the Danes won in Tel Aviv with goals from
Martin Braithwaite (13) and Jonas Wind (67) to get off to a good start in Group
F, where this Thursday Scotland drew 2-2 with Austria.
