Austria earned a stunning 3-2 win over the Netherlands at Euro 2024 to qualify for the knockout stage of the competition top of Group D after France drew 1-1 with Poland. It’s the first time in history that the Burschen have finished top of their group at the European Championship, while the Netherlands also book their place in the last 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams. Donyell Malen’s own goal gave Austria a deserved lead after just six minutes, only for Cody Gakpo to level the score two minutes into the second half. Romano Schmid’s header restored the lead for Ralf Rangnick’s men just 12 minutes later, but the Oranje bounced back again thanks to Memphis Depay’s brilliant improvised finish. However, Austria was relentless and eventually got what proved to be the winning goal as Marcel Sabitzer broke through the Dutch defense and finished smartly high into the roof of the net just 10 minutes from time. France, meanwhile, took the lead over Poland 10 minutes into the second half thanks to Kylian Mbappé’s penalty – the French superstar’s first ever European Championship goal.
