Austria in the 2016 UEFA European Championship (Euro 2016) was an interesting case. The tournament, held in France, saw Austria placed in Group F alongside Hungary, Iceland, and Portugal.

Austria entered the tournament with high expectations but struggled to perform. They finished third in their group, failing to advance past the group stage. Here’s a quick summary of their matches:

1. Austria 0-2 Hungary (June 14, 2016) – Austria lost their opening game to Hungary, with goals from Zoltán Gera and Ádám Szalai.

2. Austria 1-2 Iceland (June 22, 2016) – Austria lost their second match to Iceland, with a late goal from Arnór Ingvi Traustason sealing the victory for Iceland. Austria's goal was scored by Alessandro Schöpf.

3. Austria 0-0 Portugal (June 22, 2016) – In their final group match, Austria drew with Portugal. Despite Portugal’s star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, missing a penalty in this game, Austria couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity.
