Türkiye time

The men in white get motoring with Ferdi Kadıoğlu bounding forward. The Fenerbahçe man's shot lacks conviction and is blocked out.

Günok alert

Arnautović had the equaliser at his feet right there. The Inter Milan player was played through and only had Mert Günok to beat. The Türkiye 'keeper saved with his legs.

Rangnick encouragement

Austria's tactician is used to these surroundings from his RB Leipzig past and he's digging into all of his coaching experience as he attempts to lift his players here.

Baumgartner involved again

The Leipzig man is stretching at the far post to meet a corner but he's muscled out at the last.

What a game this is! Christoph Baumgartner sends a wicked shot from the right flashing just past the upright. So close to an equaliser.

Rapid start

The Red Bill Arena explodes! After a quick, attacking start by Austria, Turkey go back down the other end and win a corner. The cross causes confusion in the Austrian area and after a bit of pinball, Merih Demiral smashes high into the net to give Türkiye the lead!
