"We could have achieved more, but overall, our performance was exactly as we had planned – bold and brave. I would have liked to see a bit more courage in one or two situations, and perhaps one or two long-range shots, which would have been possible, especially in the first half. The way the score became 2-0, with that counter-attack, was very disappointing. But overall, it was a good performance from us," Rangnick stated.

Austrian forward Michael Gregoritsch added: "We wanted to be tough and play our game. In the end, we lacked clear-cut chances. The goal that made it 2-0 at the end hurts a bit in terms of our goal difference. Now we need to regroup and win against Algeria."
