🙈 Austria among them too: two World Cup sides were woefully blunt! The Austrian national team achieved its minimum goal by reaching the knockout stage at this World Cup – but not much more than that. In the round of 16, the ÖFB side were swept aside 0-3 by a strong Spain team and were pretty much without a chance. Against the 2024 European champions, the men from the Alpine republic failed to produce a single shot on target. At least one thing: Austria shared that fate with Ghana just a few days later. The Black Stars also managed the dubious feat of not getting a single shot on the opponent’s goal in their 0-1 defeat to Colombia. This negative double is even historic. Since 1966, only three World Cup knockout matches had seen a team look so toothless in attack. Austria and Ghana have now almost doubled that number within just a few days. One small consolation: both teams were united in their lack of chances. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
