Landmark win for Austria

Austria reached the knockout stages of the European Championship for the first time with a deserved 1:0 win over Ukraine which secured a last-16 tie against Italy on Saturday.
That promises to be a landmark occasion for Austrian football as the country has rarely threatened the latter stages of major tournaments.
While they got through groups at the 1978 and 1982 World Cups, both tournaments featured a second group stage, meaning Saturday’s fixture will be their first knockout match at a major tournament in 67 years, when they finished third at the 1954 World Cup.
