Austria climbed to the top of League A Group One thanks to goals from Marko Arnautovic,
Michael Gregoritsch, and Marcel Sabitzer, after Denmark beat France 2-1 away.
Just before halftime, Arnautovic made a solo run past the defense and sent a shot from the
edge of the box into the bottom right corner against the run of play.
Austria manager “Rangnick” began with a hugely impressive Nations League win in Croatia.
Last season, Rangnick struggled as Manchester United’s interim manager, failing to qualify
for the Champions League.
But he got off to a great start in Austria, thrashing the World Cup finalists from 2018.
A straightforward victory secured thanks to goals from Marko Arnautovic, Michael
Gregoritsch, and Marcel Sabitzer.
With a magnificent 20-yard effort four minutes before the break, former West Ham striker
Arnautovic, who is now at Bolgona in Serie A, scored the Rangnick era’s first goal.
