He suffered a head injury due to an aerial collision but was allowed on the pitch just three minutes before he shot on the target. He was sent off later, following the difficulties he suffered and was unable to play more minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t quite comprehend it all, my head is really hurting! This is really so special for all of us,\u201d said Baumgartner to the Austrian broadcaster ORF, after the game was ended.<\/p>\n<p>Alaba, who was responsible for the brilliant cross that was converted into the goal for the crucial win, had been immense for Austria\u2019s counters. He was outstanding defensively that led Franco Foda\u2019s side to secure their runners-up spot of the tournament.
