"Now for Austria"
Vienna: Turkish fans in Favoriten celebrate ÖFB team
It was to be a soccer evening full of emotion and even though the ÖFB team lost out to the team from Turkey at the end of the game - the euphoria for Ralf Rangnick and his "lads" is unbroken in view of their performance at the European Championships. Even the opposing fans paid tribute to the national team.
Around 1000 people had gathered in the area between Reumannplatz and Keplerplatz to celebrate the Turkish national team's victory after Turkey's narrow win over Austria. But instead of the feared motorcades, the fans paid their respects to their opponents with cheers.
"Now for Austria"
As videos from the social networks show, the Turkish fans loudly chanted "Austria, Austria, now for Austria!".
The soccer evening in the Austrian capital was also very calm in other respects. The regional police headquarters spoke of a few "minor disputes".
Disputes at the main station
There were some minor incidents at the main station. However, these are said to have been deliberate provocations by people with no fan background.
"Our security staff and the police were able to intervene relatively quickly," said an ÖBB spokesperson. Media reports of an alleged mass brawl were not confirmed.
