Austria completed its mandatory task with a visible sense of duty and a convincing performance. Ralf Rangnick’s team won the penultimate qualifying game in Cyprus 2-0, and in Limassol Marko Arnautovic scored twice for a committed ÖFB team. Austria continues to lead Group H, but still has to get at least a draw against a weakened Bosnia-Herzegovina to secure their World Cup ticket on Tuesday at the Ernst Happel Stadium. The Bosnians celebrated a 3-1 home win against Romania on Saturday evening.
