Bundesliga duo Marcel Sabitzer and Christoph Baumgartner were on target as Austria inflicted a second straight loss on Julian Nagelsmann's Germany.

Austria 2-0 Germany
Goals: 1-0 Sabitzer 29' (assist: Baumgartner), 2-0 Baumgartner 73' (assist: Gregoritsch)
Sent off: Sané 49'

Beaten 3-2 by Turkey at the weekend, Germany were on the backfoot for much of the first half in Vienna. RB Leipzig's Baumgartner hit a deflected shot wide, before Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp denied Freiburg striker Michael Gregoritsch in a promising one-on-one. Ralf Rangnick's team were eventually rewarded for their bright start just shy of the half-hour mark when Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sabitzer capped a quick counter with an unerring finish past Trapp. Sané - flying domestically for Bayern Munich - warmed the palms of Alexander Schlager in response, but Austria ended the half in the ascendancy as Baumgartner zipped an effort wide.

Germany's task was made a whole lot harder early in the second half when Sané was shown a straight red card following an altercation with ex-Mainz man Phillipp Mwene. Substitute Benjamin Henrichs sent a free-kick wide in a rare moment of promise for the visitors, who were indebted to Trapp for thwarting Gregoritsch soon after. Trapp could do nothing to prevent Baumgartner calmly slotting in a second Austria goal, though, after smart hold-up play from Gregoritsch. Germany substitutes Florian Wirtz and Marvin Ducksch threatened a response, but Austria were otherwise untroubled and might have added to their lead but for Trapp's late save from substitute Matthias Seidl.

Gündogan looks for Brandt

The Germany captain plays a good cross from the right for the Dortmund attacker, who can't quite control it.

Another hairy moment

Rüdiger underhits a backpass to Trapp and the Germany goalkeeper can just squeeze a clearance out for a throw-in before Gregoritsch can pounce.

Austria lead

It was coming. Moments after Brandt almost got the ball in the box in Germany's most promising attack, Austria go up the other end and score an opener.

Austria attack again

Alaba takes the ball to the edge of the area and tries to thread it through to Gregoritsch, but Rüdiger clears well.

Austria make the early running

The hosts have made a high-intensity start and have seen the best chances. Germany are still finding their way into the encounter and have Trapp to thank for the scoreline remaining level.

Familiar faces

There are no fewer than 12 Bundesliga-based players in the Austria squad, plus a host more who once plied their trade in Germany. Dortmund's Marcel Sabitzer is one of them, and his clubmate, Mats Hummels, is looking forward to going up against his BVB colleague. "We've spoken about the game before, as it's a really attractive fixture," said Hummels. "We're all looking forward to the game against a strong side."

Watch: Alaba - the Bayern youth product turned global star

Alaba won 10 Bundesliga titles for Bayern, as well as two treble with the UEFA Champions League and DFB Cup.

Alaba: "Germany have world-class players"

Another Bayern old boy has been discussing the game before tonight's meeting, with Austria skipper David Alaba, who won two trebles and a whole lot more with the record champions, saying: “Germany have world-class individual players and are always dangerous as a team... They definitely have the potential to play successful football."

Nagelsmann: "We'll try to be the better team"

Nagelsmann spoke to media this week saying he was hoping for improvement against an Austria side he rates highly. "We’ll try to be the better team and win," said the former Leipzig and Bayern boss. "Austria have a lot of Bundesliga players and players who play in the Champions League... In Ralf Rangnick, they have a coach with a clear philosophy."

The Bundesliga dozen

No fewer than 12 players in the Austria squad currently ply their trade in the German Bundesliga. Dortmund's Marcel Sabitzer scored the penalty that sealed Austria's EURO 2024 qualification in Azerbaijan last month.

Germany beaten

A 2-3 defeat in Berlin on Saturday evening was Julian Nagelsmann's first defeat as national team coach. A result away at a strong Austrian side would surely be the perfect tonic though with EURO 2024 moving ever closer onto the horizon.

Austrian aura

Rangnick has created quite the feelgood atmosphere around the Austrian national team since taking charge in May of last year. Their 2-0 win over Estonia on Thursday saw the Austrians into second place at the end of their EURO 2024 qualifying group - and they will be in Germany for the big party next summer.

Nagelsmann v Rangnick

The clash will see two of the most influential names in Bundesliga coaching in recent years pit their wits against one another. In 2018, Ralf Rangnick appointed Julian Nagelsmann to succeed him in the RB Leipzig dugout, which illustrates the mutual respect between the two tactically obsessed coaches.
