Austria's women celebrate historical victory against Scotland in Ried!

In an exciting start to the Nations League group phase, the Austrian women's footballers celebrated an important success on Friday evening in the Innviertel Arena in Ried in Ried with a 1-0 win against Scotland. In frosty temperatures, the ÖFB women under the direction of the new team leader Alexander Schriebl took place, with Lilli Purtscheller scored the only goal of the game. The first goal of the Tyrolean fell in the 14th minute and turned out to be crucial, even if she missed another chance only two minutes later, such as Sn.at reported.

The encounter was characterized by hard duels and high speed. While Scotland developed some options in the early minutes, it was Manuela Zinsberger who could shine in the goal of the Austrians. Their strong reflexes prevented the equalization several times. After a solid first round, the teams lost a little dynamic in the second half, but the Austrians continued to push for another goal. The debut of Chiara d’Angelo, which as a newcomer set remarkable accents as a newcomer, was particularly worth mentioning. Carina Brunold also made her debut in the final phase and made a breath of fresh air, such as vienna.at emphasized.

Team boss Alexander Schriebl was satisfied after the successful game and kept a cool head. He emphasized how important this first victory was against the Scottish team and underlined the good team performance. The ÖFB women have now laid the basis for the next big duel, which will take place on February 25, 2025 against the double world champions from Germany in the Max Morlock Stadium in Nuremberg. The team has planned to take the positive energy from this victory and face new challenges.
