Northern Ireland’s quest for a first point at a major tournament ended in tears and frustration after Kenny Shiels’ team fell to defeat in their second group game at St Mary’s Stadium.
Austria, who lost last week’s opening game to England, won it with goals from Katharina Scheichtl and Katharina Naschenweng in the 19th and 88th minutes.
Werden Bremen defender Schiechtl helped home a free-kick to open the scoring before Naschenweng made sure of the points with a smart finish late on.
