was at the game too. didnt know many of the team but heres my take on it. left winger No. 11 was good in the first half, left full No.3 seemed like a mouthy git, giving it loads to their winger. Brady was decent in the first half on the right side. The Austrian No. 8 was the standout player in the first half for me, a tall classy elegant player with a wonderful left foot. 2nd half No. 11 and Brady switched flanks and Brady burst into life, great attitude and work rate and no end of skill, although he butchered a 4 on 2 break on the edge of the Austrian box, he got a lucky break off a defender and got his shot away which the keeper parried, but he really should've played in 1 of 2 players before he tried to take on his man. He was really good for his first goal, attacked down the right flank towards the box, laid it off and continued his run into the box, great header a bit Tim Cahillesque. His second goal was a wonderful piece of skill, such a touch with his back to goal and his marker all over him, he plucked the goal keepers punt out of the air and turned all in one movement, to beat the defender all ends up, he was tackled from behind, borderline in the box. he tucked the penalty away. The Irish No. 2 had a very stellar 2nd half and won a lot of ball. The Austrian No. 8 got their goal from a freekick, the wall obscured my view of it, but he was their best player by a mile, apparently he is a 1st teamer for Stuttgart.
All in all a very enjoyable game, the late winner added to it and it was great value, meself and 2 kids for €9. looking forward to the Hungery game already but I believe its all ticket
