BERLIN: Austria picked up a crucial win at Euro 2024 by defeating Poland 3-1 in its second group match and leaving the Poles on the brink of elimination on Friday.

Gernot Trauner, Christoph Baumgartner and Marko Arnautovic scored for Austria while Krzysztof Piatek had Poland's first-half equalizer.

To avoid a group stage exit, Poland needs the Netherlands to beat France in a later Group D match on Friday.

Robert Lewandowski, who missed Poland's first match against the Netherlands due to an injury, came on in the second half but failed to make an impact, and was booked after just five minutes on the pitch.
