In the first round of Group D matches at the UEFA Euro, Wober’s bizarre own goal and Mbappe’s missed breakaway led to France narrowly defeating Austria 1-0.
According to records, there have only been three 1-0 games in Euro history where the lone goal was an own goal: Wales defeated Northern Ireland (McAuley), France beat Germany (Hummels), and now France triumphed over Austria (Wober). France has thus benefited from this peculiar scenario twice.
Another notable statistic from the match is that Leipzig midfielder Sabitzer made 8 tackles against France, the most by an Austrian player in a major tournament since Bernhard Claus’s 8 tackles against Northern Ireland in 1982.
