Marcel Sabitzer scored late for Austria to advance to the knockout phase of Euro 2024 as group winners with a 3-2 victory over the Netherlands on Tuesday.

Austria topped Group D thanks to France drawing with Poland 1-1 in the other game. Both France and the Netherlands were already assured of progressing due to results in other games.

"Group winners, group winners!" the Austrian fans chanted in the warm evening sunshine as they streamed out of Berlin's Olympiastadion. Their Dutch counterparts, thousands of whom dressed in vibrant orange, must now wait for the other groups to conclude to see which team awaits them in the next round.

Austria will play the second-place finisher in Group F – Türkiye, Georgia or the Czech Republic – in Leipzig on Tuesday.

"If you beat the Netherlands and finish first in the group, then you can't be so bad," said Sabitzer, who plays in Germany for Borussia Dortmund. "The top priority for us was to progress and we managed that. Now we need to bring it down a bit, get the heads clear and then we'll attack again."

The Austrians had needed a point to be sure of advancing, and got off to a great start with Dutch forward Donyell Malen misdirecting in an own goal in the sixth minute.

First-half substitute Xavi Simons set up Cody Gakpo to equalize two minutes after the break, but Romano Schmid headed Austria back in front in the 59th.

Memphis Depay equalized with a brilliant finish in the 75th, though he had to endure a VAR check as referee Ivan Kruzliak felt he handled the ball. The check found Depay had not.

Sabitzer restored Austria's lead two minutes later with a fierce strike from a difficult angle. It proved to be the winner despite a frenetic finish with chances at both ends.

Austria snapped a seven-game losing run against the Netherlands, including a group-stage defeat in the last edition of the tournament.

France 1-1 Poland

Kylian Mbappe, wearing a mask to protect his broken nose, marked his return at Euro 2024 with a goal against Poland.

It wasn't enough for a victory on Tuesday, though, and it's not enough to solve France's growing problems at the continental championship.

Mbappe removed his protective mask to celebrate in front of his team's fans after converting a 56th-minute penalty.

But Robert Lewandowski secured a 1-1 draw for Poland with a 79th-minute spot kick that he got to take twice, leaving the French as the runners-up to Austria in Group D, and dropping them into the same half of the draw with Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo, hosts Germany and Spain – three of Europe's heavyweight teams.

The result also means France have yet to score an open-play goal at Euro 2024, having beaten Austria 1-0 on an own-goal and then drawn 0-0 with the Dutch – when Mbappe was missing after breaking his nose against the Austrians.

Les Bleus have advanced, sure, but they haven't been convincing.

"I would be a lot more concerned if there were no chances, but obviously there is a little bit of room for improvement," France coach Didier Deschamps said. "Maybe there are other teams who have given off something a bit different, but the fact we haven't scored limits our performance. We are here where we want to be."

Mbappe returned to the starting lineup against last-place Poland, who were already eliminated before the game began, and was clearly impaired by wearing a black mask that limits his peripheral vision.

He largely kept away from overly physical challenges and didn't compete for the ball in the air. He was often seen hanging back at the edge of the area, waiting for the ball to come to him.

Deschamps said it was "complicated" for Mbappe.

"I thought he was quite good on his feet with the mask – he needed to get used to it," the coach said. "But when he sweats, that sticks in his eyes and he needed to wipe his eyes."
