"The Austrian national team, featuring Laimer, also collected an important three points in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, beating Cyprus 1-0 in Linz. Like Kane, Bayern's defensive specialist played the full game and saw former Munich man Marcel Sabitzer net the only goal of the day for Ralf Rangnick's men from the penalty spot. The result maintains Austria's position in second place (nine points) in Group H, having played one match less than leaders Bosnia and Herzegovina."
"Meanwhile, Minjae Kim and South Korea won 2-0 in their friendly against the USA. The FCB centre-back also played the full 90 minutes, helping his side to protect their two-goal lead from the first half. South Korea, like hosts USA, have already qualified for next year's tournament. Earlier on in the day, Leon Klanac enjoyed a successful start to the season with the German U19s. The DFB youngsters beat Italy 3-1 in front of 243 spectators in Koprivnica, Croatia. The 18-year-old goalkeeper did not feature."
