"Thanks belong to him"
Baumgartner scores and cheers Rangnick’s glasses off
Man of the match! Christoph Baumgartner's scoring streak was only interrupted briefly! The ÖFB star scored five times in a row before the European Championship, but not against France - but again against Poland! It was his 16th international goal in his 40th game.
The Leipzig whirler was already an asset to the ÖFB team in the first half, but it was only after the changeover that he scored.
The 66th minute: Prass plays the ball flat from the left to the edge of the penalty area, where Arnautovic is standing, but climbs over the ball, which Baumgartner shoots directly into the bottom right corner at 97 kilometers per hour to make it 2:1 for Austria. What a relief - also for Baumgartner after the missed top chance against the French
"Thanks belong to him"
The 24-year-old from Lower Austria celebrated accordingly, running straight to Ralf Rangnick after his goal and hugging the team boss. But Baumgartner was a little too impetuous, tearing the glasses off his coach's face with joy. No matter! Rangnick took them to safety and gave the goalscorer new tactical instructions along the way.
Baumgartner commented on the celebratory scene after the game: "He supports me every day. He gave me a lot of strength at half-time. He spent three or four minutes just talking to me, so the thanks also go to him."
