Wales 2-1 Austria
Wales beat Austria 2-1 in Cardiff. Real reservist Gareth Bale defeated Basel goalie Heinz Lindner with a free kick and hit the net with a wonderful shot in the second half. Last weekend, Bale missed the Clasico against Barcelona (0:4) due to an unknown injury. 4 days later, the 32-year-old almost single-handedly ensured that Wales can continue to dream of the World Cup.
Because the Austrians, who last played in a World Cup in 1998, shouldn’t be able to do more than Marcel Sabitzer’s goal. The Welsh will probably not find out their opponent on the way to their second World Cup appearance after 1958 until June, when the game between Scotland and Ukraine, which was postponed due to the war in Ukraine, is to be rescheduled.
Sweden – Czech Republic 1:0 a.e.t
In the fourth duel on Thursday, Sweden and the Czech Republic played a tactically shaped game with few chances, in which both teams obviously had top priority not to concede a goal. This worked until the 110th minute: Alexander Isak and Robin Quaison then combined through the middle and Quaison defeated Tomas Vaclik in the Czech goal with a low shot.
The Scandinavians, who were quarter-finalists in Russia in 2018 after beating Switzerland 1-0, thus secured a place in the final, where they want to make their 13th World Cup appearance perfect on Tuesday against Poland, who progressed without a fight.
