Austria had a dreadful start to their campaign, conceding a penalty after just four minutes in their match against Croatia, leaving them with a mountain to climb. They lacked quality throughout the team and they never looked like making their 64% of possession count for anything as their attacks in the final third of the pitch were broken down with ease by the Croatians. They did battle well and will make it very tough for Poland to break them down but they must improve up front if they want to go through to the knockout stages.
