Austria's Christoph Baumgartner scored the only goal of the match in the first half, securing a historic win over Ukraine in their final group game of the European Championship.
The victory marked Austria's first-ever appearance in the last 16 of the tournament, with Baumgartner's goal proving to be the difference-maker in a lackluster display from Ukraine.
Ukraine's coach, Andriy Shevchenko, will be left bewildered by his team's limp showing, particularly considering their impressive qualifying campaign where they finished top of their pool with 20 points.
Despite their best efforts, Ukraine were unable to find the fluidity they needed to get back into the game, with Austria's defense holding strong throughout.
Ukraine's slim chance of advancing to the knockout stages now hangs in the balance, with the Netherlands topping the group with a full haul of nine points.
Austria, on the other hand, will face a tough test in the last 16 against unbeaten Italy, who have not conceded a goal in 11 games.
