3-1 win over Poland in Austria

The Austrian player Baumgartner was interviewed after the match and humbly credited his team and country for his outstanding individual performance and expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support of the fans.

When talking about his outstanding performance of scoring six goals in his last seven international matches, Baumgartner modestly said, "I hope to continue with this kind of athleticism, but it's important to make it clear that it's not about my personal achievements. It's about the honor of our entire team and country. Our goal is to go farther in this tournament and participate in more games. If my goal helps the team, then of course I'll be very happy, but at the end of the day, it's not the most important thing who scores the goal. Our priority is to win the game and everything else is secondary."

Talking about the fans in attendance, Baumgartner was overwhelmed with gratitude: "They were fantastic! The support from the fans was unbelievable and gave me great motivation and confidence. I've played Bundesliga matches here before, but the atmosphere and support tonight was on a completely different level. The Austrian fans were so passionate, they were celebrating like crazy in the city before the game and cheering us on. I hope they continue to be this enthusiastic and we will continue to give it our all to go far in the tournament."
