Austria vs Israel Highlights & Replay

A hard-fought battle under the lights

On September 24, 2026, the UEFA Nations League witnessed a compelling encounter as Austria hosted Israel. The match was defined by physical intensity and tactical maneuvering, as both sides looked to seize control of the midfield battle throughout a cagey opening half.

The momentum shift

Austria took the initiative just before halftime when Romano Schmid coolly converted a penalty after a foul by Idan Nachmias on Sasa Kalajdzic. The game exploded into life in the second half when Sayed Abu Farkhi leveled for Israel with a powerful header. However, the joy was short-lived as Abu Farkhi was sent off for a second yellow card shortly after his celebration, leaving his team vulnerable against a revitalized Austrian side.

Late drama secures the points

As the clock ticked toward full-time, Austria turned the screw on the 10-man Israeli defense. The breakthrough arrived in the 90th minute when Phillipp Mwene fired home from a Paul Wanner assist. With the tension at its peak in front of the 15,200 spectators, Sasa Kalajdzic hammered home the final goal in stoppage time, assisted by Christoph Lang, to cement a hard-earned 3-1 victory.
