Austria secured a 1-0 win over Ireland, and two players earned top marks in the player ratings. Beyond them, very few made a convincing case, and the result still sends the team up in the Nations League.
Two stand out
Two Austrians rose above the rest in the performance grades. Their displays were the clear high points of the evening, while the bulk of the squad produced fairly ordinary work.
Promotion, but little to celebrate in the grades
The victory was enough to secure promotion in the Nations League, but the ratings suggest it was more a result built on efficiency than on a standout collective performance. For a side that wants to be taken seriously, the spread of marks points to plenty of room for improvement.
