Austria suffer own goal agony

Luckless Kaiser
On 32 minutes, a clearance from Austrian goalkeeper Ihsan Poyraz struck defender Thomas Kaiser and ricocheted into his own net. Austria pushed hard for an equaliser but despite hitting the post were out of luck.

Cruch games
With only the group winners progressing to Italy in May, Austria may well need to defeat Romania in Bruck/Mur on Monday to have any chance of reaching a third consecutive final tournament. Israel go on to play Greece, who also gained a 1-0 success today in their game with the Romanians.
