A key match in Group D of the European Championship group stage ended not long ago, when the favourites Netherlands unexpectedly overturned, losing 2-3 to Austria and eventually falling to third place in the group with one win, one draw and one loss. Austria won the first place in Group D with this crucial victory, and this previously inconspicuous team is expected to become the biggest dark horse of this European Championship and bring even greater surprises to fans!

As one of the favourites to win the European Championships, the Netherlands have an unbeaten record of one win and one draw in the previous two rounds of the group stage, and in the final round against Austria, the Dutch team can secure the top two places in the group as long as they can draw with their opponents. But the Austrians clearly did not want to be the backdrop for the Dutch celebrations, and they also gave the Dutch team a heavy blow with their performances!

Just six minutes into the game, the deadlock on the pitch was broken, and it was Austria who were not favored before the game to score. Plath crossed a low ball from the left, and the Dutch striker Mullen, who was back on the defensive, made a mistake and accidentally shoveled the ball into his own goal, and with an own gift from the opponent, Austria was lucky to take a 1-0 lead!

Not to be outdone, the Dutch team launched a frantic counterattack, but whether it was Reinders' push from near the penalty spot or Malen's one-on-one shot in the penalty area, they all missed the goal. The Dutch team had to go back to the dressing room with a 0-1 scoreline. Yibian fought again, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's unstable foothold, the Dutch team played a sharp counterattack, Gakpo received the ball from his teammates in the penalty area and calmly deducted the defender to score the goal, helping the Dutch team successfully pull the score to 1-1!

Just when everyone thought that the Dutch team would take advantage of the victory and chase after the victory, Austrian striker Schmid stepped up and received a cross from his teammate in the penalty area to head the goal, 2-1! Austria overtakes the score again! In the 76th minute, substitute center forward Weghorst nodded the ball to the ferry, and Depay, who received the ball in the middle, stopped the ball and volleyed directly into the goal, 2-2! The two teams are back on the same page!

But just five minutes later, the Dutch team's weak defense was broken down for the third time, and Baumgartner found Sabitzer in front of him, who scored with a burst from a tight angle, 3-2! The Dutch team is once again in a disadvantageous situation of falling behind! This time, the Dutch team failed to reverse the defeat, and in the end, Austria beat the Dutch team 3-2, and took three points without danger!

In the other game played at the same time, the French team also broke the upset, they were forced to draw 1-1 by the already eliminated Poland team, so the Austrian team, which has six points, also managed to surpass the French team and jumped to the top of the group in one fell swoop. In the next knockout round, the Austrian team is expected to play the role of a dark horse and completely disrupt this European Cup!
