Slovakia and Romania
“Underdog day” at the European Championship! Chance for the ÖFB team?
Has Austria caught the big "underdog day" at this year's European Championship? On Monday, the Romanians surprised everyone against Ukraine. Slovakia then caused a minor sensation with a 1:0 win against Belgium. So will Austria join the ranks and upset title favorites France?
Austria will be looking to upset none other than the big title favorites from France at the start of the EURO. And they have probably picked a special day to do so. Because so far the underdogs have managed to surprise on Monday.
In the evening game, the Slovaks pulled off a minor sensation against Belgium. A goal from Ivan Schranz in the seventh minute was enough for our neighboring country to bring the favorites to their knees. Two goals by striker Romelu Lukaku were disallowed after a VAR check. The "Red Devils" also missed numerous top chances.
ÖFB team is ready
Belgium, one of the favorites, stumbled. The afternoon match between Romania and Ukraine was a little less sensational, but still not expected by most experts. Coach Eduard Iordanescu's team defeated Ukraine 3:0 (1:0) in the Group E opener. Nicolae Stanciu (29), Razvan Marin (53) and Denis Dragus (57) scored for the Romanians, who were delighted with only their second win at a European Championship finals.
Austria are certainly sensing their chance of a magical European Championship evening in Düsseldorf. The team is brimming with self-confidence and can be sure of the vociferous support of numerous fans.
