Poland defeated Austria 1-0. Soccer players will advance to the European Championship
The meeting in Vienna aroused great emotion from the beginning. Expectations were high for the Polish players after winning the first play-off leg in Gdańsk, but they proved that pressure motivates them.
Our opponents were demanding and were no worse than our players who pressed hard from the first minutes. The first half ended scoreless, but Natalia Padilla-Vidas was close to scoring.

When the players took to the pitch after the break, the game was very intense and everyone on the pitch knew that their place in the tournament was at stake. Our goalkeeper was almost brought down by Lili Piurscherer, but his shot was extremely close to the target.
Even though the referee called for overtime, the result remained unchanged. He was immediately influenced by Eva Pajor. The captain of the Polish team put the ball into the opponent's net in a spectacular way. This goal resulted in a historic promotion for the Polish women and an equally historic defeat for the Austrians. Despite appearing in the last three finals, they had to say goodbye at the European Championships.
