Comments:
This was Austria's first-ever win at a UEFA European Championship finals (played seven, lost four). This was their first win at major tournament since a 2-1 victory against USA in Florence in the FIFA World Cup finals group stage on 19 June 1990. This was the first time they had scored three or more goals in a major tournament since the 3-2 win against West Germany at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. Four of the five goals that Austria had now scored at UEFA European Championship finals had been scored by substitutes; also Ivica Vastic against Poland in 2008 and Alessandro Schöpf against Iceland in 2016.
