Austria's football women celebrate brilliant debut under Schriebl!

A triumphant start for the Austrian football women! Under the new direction of team boss Alexander Schriebl, the ÖFB women achieved a scarce but deserved 1-0 victory against Scotland in Ried.

The crucial goal fell in the 14th minute by Anna Purtscheller, who transported the ball over the line after a river in the penalty area, as from krone.at reported.

The joy was great, and Ralf Rangnick, the coach of the men's team, also watched the events with interest and praised the performance: "The girls did well and earned it," he said. Schriebl himself was enthusiastic about the team performance: "We showed a brave performance right from the start. Scotland had almost no chance out of the game." The victory brings Austria to a promising position in Group I of League A of UEFA Women’s Nations League with three points.

The look ahead

With the tailwind from this success, the players are now looking at the next big game that will take place against Germany on Tuesday. "It will be a really difficult task," warned Schrieder and made it clear that the team is well prepared. The team boss sees a lot of potential in his team and emphasizes the "incredible positive energy" that the team brought into the game. Austria has shown itself to be defensively, which will be of great importance in the upcoming games, especially against strong opponents like Germany. Schriebl is optimistic: "With a lot of passion, mind, heart and a good plan, we can make such games closely," he summarized the philosophy, which is supposed to lead the team, how laola1.at reported.
