UEFA Nations League 2022/23: Denmark beat Austria 2-0 to extend lead at the top
Denmark got back to winning ways as Jonas Wind scored one and made the other in a comfortable victory at home to Austria in Group A1.
Austria made a fast start and were almost in within 20 seconds, but that was as good as it got for them in the first half. Denmark made their pressure count when Joakim Mæhle escaped down the left and pulled the ball back for Wind to score.
Wind then turned provider when he played through Andreas Skov Olsen to slot in Denmark’s second before the break.
Denmark continued to control the second half, but clear-cut chances were at a premium, and although Austria had their moments, they failed to properly test Kasper Schmeichel as the Danes claimed a comfortable win. It might even have been more comfortable, Heinz Lindner pushing a late Christian Eriksen shot against the post.
