It was a match that will likely be talked about for years to come: Austria's 3-3 draw against Algeria was not for the faint of heart (to the match report>>>).

In the interviews shortly after the final whistle, the crazy match was clearly visible on the players' faces. This was also true for Michael Gregoritsch, who set up Sasa Kalajdzic's last-minute equalizer perfectly.

"We were out for a few minutes"

In conversation with ZDF reporter Amelie Stiefvatter, "Gregerl" is close to tears. "Thank God there are still miracles," he declared, audibly and visibly emotional.

Stiefvatter replied: "I don't think you've fully realized it yet, have you? I'm not getting that sense of relief from you." Gregoritsch paused briefly, searching for words. "We were just out for a few minutes. And we're still in it," the 32-year-old replied.

Now they have the game against European champions Spain, which they wanted, he added, and hugged Stiefvatter in relief after the interview.

The match against the co-favorite for the title will take place next Thursday at 9 PM.
