Poland v Austria LIVE: Result and reaction as Marko Arnautovic scores penalty to seal key victory

Poland 1-3 Austria: Robert Lewandowski returned from the bench but his side’s hopes of reaching the last-16 suffered a major blow with defeat

England must address their issues after Denmark draw, says Gareth Southgate

Austria secured a 3-1 victory over Poland in their Euro 2024 Group D match to renew hopes of a top-two finish and a spot in the knockout stage while leaving their opponents in last place with no points and only a slim chance of advancing.

In a furious start, the Austrians, now on three points from two matches - as many as France and Netherlands who meet later on Friday - applied early pressure and it paid off in the ninth minute with Gernot Trauner’s powerful header at the near post.

Poland, who have now lost both of their matches, levelled through Krzysztof Piatek’s his second attempt in the box after his first effort was blocked on the half-hour mark.

Fit-again Poland striker Robert Lewandowski came on in the 60th minute but it was Austria who scored twice more, first with a flowing move and Christoph Baumgartner finish just inside the box in the 66th and a Marco Arnautovic penalty 12 minutes later.

The Austrian fans want a penalty as the cross from Schmid is blocked, but nothing doing for the referee.

Austria are dominating the ball in the final exchanges. Poland can’t seem to get near them, let alone create anything of substance in attack.

CLOSE! So close to 4-1 as Austria attack again. It finds Wimmer on the left and there’s plenty of space behind the Poland defence, which Laimer is making the run in to. Wimmer slips it through to him and he’s one-v-one; he skips past Szczesny but he can’t find the finish, eventually rolling the ball almost across the goal line and just past the far post!

Szczesny was booked for the challenge that led to the penalty, and we’ve had six cards so far.

Worth remembering that Poland will be eliminated if this result stays the same and the Netherlands beat France.

Austria have a great chance as Posch arrows a shot towards the far corner, but Szczesny does brilliantly to come across and put it behind for a corner.

PENALTY TO AUSTRIA!

The ball comes long from the defenders towards Arnautovic in the centre circle. He rises high and nods it on to the onrushing Sabitzer, who finds himself one-v-one with Szczesny. He takes it past the ‘keeper but is brought down, and it’s a clear penalty!

There’s plenty of pinball in midfield as both teams look to impose themselves on the game once more.

Austria go close once more after some brilliant play from Baumgartner! He surges forward towards the area and squares it across the box to Wimmer, but Szczesny gets down to save the shot.

Poland make another change, bringing on Kamil Grosicki  in place of Slisz.

How will Poland respond to going behind again? They were brilliant after conceding the first time.

They’ve had plenty of the ball since the goal, with Swiderski just fizzing an effort right at Pentz.

Moments later, Arnautovic was booked for a cynical challenge.

GOAL! It’s come from nowhere but it’s absolutely brilliant, and Austria are ahead!

Prass is in acres of space down the left wing, and Austria sweep it over to him. He carries a few yards before firing a pass towards Arnautovic on the edge of the box, but Arnautovic dummies it to let it roll through to Baumgartner. He takes one touch to let it roll across and into the box, and then fires a low shot past Szczesny into the far corner!
