View Faroe Islands v Austria head to head
Kick-off: 7:00pm local
Played in Sweden due to a suitable stadium not available in the Faroe Islands.
As the Faroe Islands were playing their first-ever competitive game and their team was composed of amateurs, this became one of the biggest shocks in the competition's history. Austria had played at the FIFA World Cup finals in Italy less than three months earlier.
