‘A situation we warned about’
“We just conceded a goal, from a situation we warned about,” said ÖFB team boss Irene Fuhrmann. She was dejected, just like her players, who, in contrast to the two 3:1 victories this year in the group stage of the European Championship qualifiers, left the field with their heads bowed. “We knew in advance that they had fast players up front and would exploit them, and that you cannot afford any mistakes. Unfortunately we did that,” said goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger.
