It wasn't until almost the half hour that Ukraine finally put together a move in attack with Mykola Shaparenko drawing a save from Daniel Bachmann with Andriy Yamolenko just failing to get on the end of the rebound.īy then the Austrians had managed seven shots and forced six corners and although they suffered a setback when Baumgartner had to go off after a clash of heads, they continued to press. With Marko Arnautovich back after suspension, Austria camped in their rivals' half and got their reward when Baumgartner prodded home from a corner in the 20th minute. The game kicked off with Ukraine knowing a draw would see them into the last 16, while Austria needed a win in order to assure their progress to the knockout stages and they looked to take the game to their rivals from the start. Ukraine meanwhile disappointed and rarely looked like scoring, despite coach Andriy Shevchenko making several attacking changes as they chased an equalizer.
