Match Recap

Austria needed barely an hour to put this UEFA Nations League opener away, doing it with three different scorers. David Affengruber broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute, Junior Chukwubuike Adamu doubled the lead in first-half stoppage time, and Carney Chukwuemeka made it three just after the restart, finishing off Austria's flying start inside 61 minutes. Kosovo had no answer until Edon Zhegrova pulled one back in the 83rd minute, far too late to change the story. The result puts Austria top of their group on three points from one game, with Kosovo sitting second on the same tally. None of the scorers on show currently rank among the league's top ten, where J. Pohjanpalo leads the charts with three goals, but Affengruber, Adamu and Chukwuemeka won't mind starting their campaign as surprise names on the scoresheet. Catch Adamu's stoppage-time strike and Zhegrova's late reply for Kosovo in the highlights below.
