EURO 2020 Half-Time: Austria 1-1 North Macedonia

The half-time whistle goes. North Macedonia will be delighted with that first half. Half-time: Austria 1-1 North Macedonia. I think, overall, Austria have been the better team but there is not much in it. The goals have come from the one quality moment of the game and the funniest, which is wonderful.

Baumgartner runs into a defender inside and seems to think he deserves a foul for it, so spends far too long on the pitch moaning about it. The referee does not share his feelings.

Trajkovski is booked for catching Dragovic in the face with his elbow. The Austrian is not too happy. David Alaba is playing in the middle of a back three. I think he might be wasted there. Surely any half-decent center-back can play that role. Use your dynamic players somewhere more useful is my advice.

Aged 37 years and 321 days, North Macedonia’s Goran Pandev is the second-oldest player ever to score at the EUROs, after Austria’s Ivica Vastic (38 years 257 days) vs Poland in 2008. Golden. #EURO2020.
