VIENNA : Austria midfielder Christoph Baumgartner scored two late goals to give his side a comfortable 2-0 home win over a stubborn but toothless Sweden in their Euro 2024 Group F qualifier on Tuesday.
The win puts the Austrians top of the group on 10 points after four games, three ahead of Belgium who have played a game fewer, with Sweden third on three points.
With the visitors offering little in attack in the first half, Austria poured forward and forced goalkeeper Robin Olsen to pull off a string of brilliant saves that somehow kept the Swedes level at the break.
Olsen was back in action again a minute into the second half, twice saving headers from Michael Gregoritsch and following that up by keeping out Maximilian Woeber's shot.
