Former Bayern Munich defender David Alaba captained Austria to a 3-1 win against debutant North Macedonia, in their Group C Euro 2020 opening game in Bucharest, Romania.
It is Austria’s first ever win at the UEFA European Championships since their debut at the 2008 edition which they co-hosted with Switzerland.
Also, it is a first win for Austria in any major tournament since the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.
North Macedonia, the tournament’s lowest ranked side, started well in Bucharest and were understandably well up for a battle with their more illustrious opponents.
