Will VAR have a look at that? If you elbow a player and it's not an accident then it's a red card? If you're getting booked then it's not an accident surely.

I like Goran Pandev because he's the one of the only players older than me at the Euros.
Think I saw him play at the San Siro when I went there over a decade ago.

Simon Atkins: This is what I looked forward to. Underdogs getting a goal, giving a go of it. Brilliant, and just what we've needed after the last few years!
Dan Pilkington: Pandev popped. What a legend.

Ben Dunbar: Goran Pandev had already played for (North) Macedonia before Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka were born.
Matt Kowech: Feels great watching the legendary Pandev play. And even more spectacular that he just scored.

It's been all North Macedonia for the past few minutes. It's their best spell of possession in the game and they're not afraid to try things.
They're growing in confidence.

That's gone down as an Aleksandar Trajkovski assist, I suspect he touched the ball after the keeper spilled it.
Just for any of you who have that guy in your fantasy Euro 2020 squad...

'Horrendous goal to concede'

Rob Green

It is a horrendous goal to concede but North Macedonia will not care.
What a moment for the talisman Goran Pandev to score the goal. He couldn't miss.
GOAL - Austria 1-1 North Macedonia
Goran Pandev
What a moment!!!!
This is a calamity from Austria and North Macedonia's greatest player Goran Pandev has equalised.
This is some of the worst defending ever.
Ezgjan Alioski plays a ball towards the box and it hits two Austrian defenders and rolls into the box. David Alaba holds a forward off so the ball can run to goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann... who somehow spills the ball and Pandev can roll into an empty net.
Post update
Austria 1-0 North Macedonia
North Macedonia have a free-kick which causes some panic in the box, but the referee gives Austria a free out.
They are yet to have a shot at any major tournament...
Finland scored with their only one to date yesterday.
