Martin Hinteregger experienced an evening to forget in the 1-0 defeat against Scotland in the World Cup qualifying, and was responsible for the decisive penalty.
In the 28th minute, Scotland striker Che Adams went down in a duel with the Austrian defender. Hinteregger had held back the Scot by the arm. Referee Georgi Kabakov only pointed to the point after the video referee intervened. Lyndon Dykes had then converted the penalty to 1-0 (30th).

“Too little for me”
“If the striker says that it wasn’t a penalty, that says it all anyway,” said the Frankfurt legionnaire on “ORF”, shaking his head. “The video referee said at first that it was not enough for him. I have no idea why the referee made the decision. It was clearly not enough for me,” the central defender grumbled.
Criticism of the match plan
But after conceding the goal, Austria’s team kickers were unable to counter the robust Scots and found hardly any chances to score in the second round. “We played into their cards, got a lot over the outside. But there are three buffalo in the back. Only with crosses, that wasn’t right. We should have played it more through the middle. Marko wants the ball at his feet , doesn’t live on the flanks, “Hinteregger let through criticism of the match plan.
“We didn’t manage to score one more goal than our opponents. We should have found other approaches in the second half,” concluded the Frankfurt legionnaire.
