Amsterdam - Last Sunday evening, Austria started furiously in the pan-European EM tournament *.
In Bucharest, Franco Foda's team beat North Macedonia 3-1.
However, the opening victory was overshadowed by the racist insult during a goal celebration by Marko Arnautovic, who was sanctioned for his action.
The former Werder Bremen and West Ham United striker will therefore be absent from his team against the Netherlands.

Following the Austrian game, Elftal * was also able to secure the first three points.
Against a well-playing Ukrainian team there was no goal in the first half.
After a 2-0 lead in the first round, Frank de Boer's team almost gave up victory and let Ukraine equalize.
Until a few minutes before the end everything looked like a draw, before right-back Denzel Dumfries scored the winning goal for the Oranje.
The second game in front of a home crowd in the Amsterdam Johan Cruyff Arena should now be similarly successful if the three-time runner-up world champion has its way.
But the kickers from the Alpine republic around David Alaba * are not easy to play and will try to make it as difficult as possible for the Dutch even without Arnautovic.

First of all, the two nations met at a major tournament, at the World Cup in Argentina in 1978 the Netherlands won 5-1 and later moved into the final against the hosts.
This year, too, a victory for the Austrians against the Dutch star ensemble around Frenkie de Jong, Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay would be a minor sensation, a division of points would put both teams under pressure for the group's final match day.
