Vienna – It cannot be emphasized often enough that Austria’s national soccer team did not have to play a nasty play-off game on Tuesday evening. Instead of fighting for one of the last World Cup tickets, Ralf Rangnick’s team was able to enjoy a friendly against South Korea. There was a 1-0 win in front of 35,000 spectators at the Ernst Happel Stadium, which also had a historic dimension as the 13th home game without a defeat.
