Austria held their opponents to a draw at home to qualify for the World Cup. |
In the 77th minute, when the score was 1-0 in favor of Bosnia, a chaotic situation occurred in front of the away team's goal after a cross from the left wing. Michael Gregoritsch was there at the right time to score the equalizer, 1-1 for Austria, to the extreme excitement of his teammates and home fans.
Gregoritsch's heroic moment, coming off the bench, helped Austria regain valuable points, thereby keeping the top spot in Group H of the European World Cup qualifiers with 2 points more than Bosnia (19 compared to 17).
This is the first time in the 21st century that Austria has participated in a World Cup. The last time the Central European country participated in the world's biggest football festival was in 1998. At that time, coach Herbert Prohaska's team stopped in the group stage, where there was the presence of Italy, Chile and Cameroon.
The final whistle blew with joy for the Austrian fans. Meanwhile, the Bosnian players collapsed on the field when they lost their ticket to the World Cup in the final period of the match. Edin Dzeko and his teammates have not been able to qualify for the World Cup after more than a decade of waiting and will face a big risk in the European play-off round.
