BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A moment of world-class quality from David Alaba earned Austria the breakthrough they had toiled so hard to find against North Macedonia on Sunday, sending Franco Foda’s side on their way to a first-ever European Championship win.

Alaba’s cross from the left wing curled invitingly behind the Macedonian defence and left substitute Michael Gregoritsch with a simple finish.

The 28-year-old, who recently joined Real Madrid on a free transfer after 13 trophy-laden years with Bayern Munich, is renowned for his versatility. The playmaker showed some frustration inside the opening 15 minutes, throwing his arms in the air at the lack of options in front of him, but it was the RB Leipzig man’s wonderful delivery that led to Stefan Lainer’s volleyed opener.

He did not need long to make an impact - his moment of magic was produced with 12 minutes remaining and ultimately won the game for Foda’s side.
