Austria eliminated in penalty shoot-out

Austria Wien created first chances in the opening phase. Jukic had the first good chance with a header (4.). Fischer, after a pass from Jukic, shot at the outside of the net (15th), Jukic from the edge of the penalty area (23rd). On the other side, Pentz saved a shot by KSV captain Eloshvili (17.).

The two best chances in half time followed in violet. Handl failed on a corner with his head against KSV goalkeeper Giuliani (27.). A Jukic shot was blocked on the line after Fischer had done the groundwork with great effort (38.).

At the break, coach Manfred Schmid substituted Dominik Fitz for Vesel Demaku, who had to leave the pitch with muscular problems. Fischer (50th, with a header) and Fitz (62nd, from distance) had a go in the early stages of the second half. Shortly before the end of normal time, Handl scored from 16 metres after a cross from substitute Ohio (84th). In the final minute, Kapfenberg had another chance through Eloshvili, but the KSV captain shot just over.

Noah Ohio gave Austria the lead early in extra time with a well-placed shot after Dominik Fitz's through pass (95th). KSV goalkeeper Giuliani saved a deflected Ohio shot (105th). Pichorner equalised for Kapfenberg in the 115th minute with a header from a corner.

In the penalty shoot-out, Fitz, Mühl, Fischer and Djuricin scored for Austria. Suttner and Ohio failed. Juslin scored the decisive penalty for Kapfenberg.
