Kevin Danso and Austria came through a tough World Cup preparation assignment against Tunisia on Monday evening.
The central defender started on the bench as Austria took on Tunisia in Vienna.
A close encounter took an unexpected turn when Tunisia's Rani Khedira looked to play Anis Ben Slimane through on goal on 37 minutes, a pass intercepted via Konrad Laimer's handball. Initially shown a yellow card, it was upgraded to a red via VAR - Austria down to 10 men for the friendly.
Kevin entered the fray at half-time and helped Austria see it out for a 1-0 win after Borussia Dortmund's Marcel Sabitzer fired home first-time from Stefan Posch's cross on 63 minutes.
Meanwhile, Lucas Bergvall also had a tough night as Sweden took on in-form Norway at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo. Lucas started and played the first half as Norway raced into a 3-0 lead after 37 minutes with two goals from Palace's Jorgen Strand Larsen and one from Antonio Nusa on RB Leipzig. Sweden boss Graeme Potter made seven changes at half-time with Lucas replaced by Sebastian Nanasi as it ended 3-1, Alexander Isak on target.
