Following a relatively uneventful first half, Austria came from behind to draw in a thrilling second half in Glasgow. VfB Stuttgart’s Saša Kalajdžić scored a brace (55’, 80’), with Grant Hanley of Norwich City and John McGinn netting for the hosts in the 71st and 85th minutes respectively.

Austria coach Franco Foda only made one change in the clash at Hampden Park as Alessandro Schöpf remained an unused substitute.

Meanwhile in Israel, Frederik Rönnow also remained on the bench for 90 minutes as Kasper Schmeichel of Leicester City kept a clean sheet for Denmark. FC Barcelona’s Martin Braithwaite opened the scoring (13’), before FC Copenhagen’s Jonas Wind sealed the win with his 67th minute strike.
