Georgia 1 - 2 Austria: Austria up and running with a win over Georgia
Posted Tuesday, September 06, 2016 by PA
First-half goals from Martin Hinteregger and Marc Janko got Austria's World Cup qualifying campaign off to a winning start as they beat Georgia 2-1 in Tbilisi.
Hinteregger headed the opener after 16 minutes of the Group D clash before Stoke's Marko Arnautovic teed up Marc Janko for a second three minutes before the break.
Georgia responded well to the setbacks and went close to pulling one back when Valeri Kaziashvili headed against the woodwork.
Jano Ananidze set up a tense finish when he did force a reply 12 minutes from time but the visitors held on.
