Austria 10-0 San Marino Player Ratings: Arnautovic Rated 10/10 as He Scored Four-Goal Haul in a 10-0 Demolition

The final 10-0 scoreline tells its own story, but it was the manner of the victory that was so utterly staggering. Austria moved the ball with a pace and precision that San Marino simply couldn't live with. Goals from Romano Schmid and Sportsdunia's Player of the match Marko Arnautovic in the 7th and 8th minutes set the tone for a brutal evening for the visitors. San Marino's heads drop early, and who could blame them? As you can see in the table below, they were nowhere to be seen on the ground, with just 11 players serving as spectators while Austria did all the talking.

Every single Austrian player seemed to be at the top of their game, from the defenders joining the attack to the midfielders creating chance after chance. It was a machine-like performance, a display of overwhelming offensive power that will send a message to their group rivals.

Here are Austria Player Ratings vs San Marino

Goalkeeper

Patrick Pentz - 6.5: Had what must be the quietest night of his career. He made one save and completed his passes effectively. We barely noticed he was there for large stretches, which is a testament to his team's dominance. It's hard to give a high rating when a keeper has nothing to do, but he did his job when called upon. A spectator for most of the game.

Defenders

Alexander Prass - 8.0: A fantastic performance down the left flank. He was a constant outlet, providing an assist and creating a big chance. His two successful dribbles and 50% cross accuracy show how involved he was in the attack. Defensively he was solid enough, winning most of his tackles. A very energetic and impressive display.

Kevin Danso - 8.5: Composed and classy at the heart of the defense. He registered an assist and created a big chance, which is exceptional for a centre-back. His passing was near-perfect at 93%, and he won 80% of his duels. From our perspective, he started so many attacks from the back. An authoritative performance.

Stefan Posch - 9.5: What a game from the right-back. To score two goals from defense is simply incredible. He was a constant threat, making runs into the box and showing a striker's instinct. He was deservedly substituted to a standing ovation. We were blown away by his attacking contribution, it was genuinely surprising to see. He was almost flawless before coming off.

David Alaba - 8.0: The captain led by example. He was a creative hub from a defensive position, creating three chances and grabbing an assist. His distribution was superb, with five successful long balls. The yellow card was a minor blip on an otherwise commanding performance before his substitution. A real leader on the pitch.

Midfielders

Nicolas Seiwald - 7.5: The quiet orchestrator in midfield. His 98% pass accuracy is just ridiculous. He kept everything ticking over, recycling possession and allowing the more attacking players to flourish. He chipped in with an assist and was just incredibly tidy. A very mature and controlled performance.

Marcel Sabitzer - 9.0: Simply sensational. He was the creative engine of the team, grabbing two assists and creating two big chances. He was desperately unlucky not to score himself, hitting the woodwork early on. From our view, his movement and vision were on another level. A masterful display of creative midfield play.

Michael Gregoritsch - 8.0: Got his goal and was a constant nuisance for the San Marino defence. He was always looking to get on the end of things in the box. His link-up play was good, creating two chances for his teammates. A very effective performance as part of a devastating front line.

Romano Schmid - 9.0: An outstanding performance. He scored a goal, provided an assist, hit the woodwork, and created three chances. He was everywhere, driving at the defense and causing chaos. We loved his energy and directness. He won a remarkable number of duels and drew four fouls, showing his willingness to fight for the ball.

Konrad Laimer - 8.5: A typical all-action display from Laimer. He capped his performance with a well-taken goal. His engine is just incredible, he was all over the pitch contributing both offensively and defensively. He created three chances and was a key part of Austria's high press. A brilliant, energetic game.

Forwards

Marko Arnautovic - 10: A perfect performance. Scoring four goals in a single international match is an incredible achievement. He was clinical, ruthless, and simply unplayable. What stood out to us was his movement in the box, he was always in the right place at the right time. The undisputed Man of the Match and the highest-rated player on the pitch. A historic night for him.

Substitutes

Marco Friedl - 6.5: Came on for Alaba and slotted in well. The game was already won, but he helped maintain the team's defensive solidity and control.

Nikolaus Wurmbrand - 8.5: What an impact. To come on as a substitute and score a goal and provide an assist is just fantastic. He looked sharp and hungry from the moment he stepped on the pitch. An amazing cameo.

Florian Grillitsch - 7.0: Replaced the brilliant Sabitzer and kept the quality in midfield high. He was neat on the ball and kept Austria pushing forward for more goals.

Alessandro Schöpf - 6.5: A solid if unspectacular appearance. He came on and did his job, helping the team see out a massive victory.

Manager

R. Rangnick - 9.0: His game plan was executed to perfection. He set his team up to attack from the first minute and they never let up. His tactics completely overwhelmed San Marino. The substitutions were also spot on, with Wurmbrand making a huge impact. A masterclass in managing a game against a weaker opponent.

Goalkeeper

Edoardo Colombo - 4.0: A truly thankless task. He conceded ten goals, but honestly, it could have been fifteen. He made four saves, some of which were very good, and punched the ball clear three times. From our perspective, he was left completely exposed by his defense. A brutal night for any goalkeeper.

Defenders

Giacomo Matteoni - 3.5: Chasing shadows for most of the match. He was booked and struggled to cope with the pace of Austria's attacks. He did win a surprising number of duels but was part of a defense that was completely torn apart. A very difficult evening before he was subbed off.

Michele Cevoli - 4.0: You have to give him some credit for his effort. He made eight clearances and two blocked shots, throwing himself in front of everything. Despite the scoreline, he never stopped trying to defend his goal. It was a heroic effort in a losing, losing cause.

A. Tosi - 3.0: A night to forget for Tosi. He was dribbled past, struggled in his duels, and lost possession far too often. The Austrian attackers seemed to target his side of the defense. He looked completely out of his depth. Just a terrible experience for him.

Giacomo Valentini - 4.5: The statistics tell a story of a man under siege. Twelve clearances is a staggering number. He was constantly putting out fires, often being the last line of defense. He got a yellow card for his troubles, but he can hold his head a little higher than some for his sheer effort.

Midfielders

Lorenzo Capicchioni - 5.0: One of the few San Marino players who showed some composure on the ball. An 86% pass completion rate in a game like this is genuinely impressive. He even created a chance. A small glimmer of quality in a team that was completely outclassed.

F. Berardi - 4.0: He worked hard but was unable to make any real impact on the game. He spent the entire match chasing the ball. His frustration was clear when he picked up a yellow card in the first half. Substituted after 67 minutes of thankless running.

Andrea Contadini - 3.5: It was a baptism of fire for the midfielder. He struggled to get into the game and unfortunately gave away a penalty. He was constantly overrun by Austria's dynamic midfield. A tough lesson for the player.

Samuele Zannoni - 4.5: At least he tried to offer something going forward. He registered two shots, one of which was on target. That's more than most of his teammates can say. He showed some intent before being taken off in the second half.

Lorenzo Lazzari - 3.5: Hooked at halftime after a brutal first 45 minutes. He was completely bypassed by the Austrian midfield and couldn't get a foothold in the game. An anonymous performance.

Forwards

Nicola Nanni - 4.0: The captain had the most isolated and frustrating job on the pitch. He had almost no service and spent the match pressing defenders on his own. He won a couple of duels but was a complete non-factor offensively. You have to feel for a striker in that situation.

Substitutes

Valli Casadei - 4.0: Came on at halftime but the tide was never going to turn. Ran a lot but couldn't influence the game.

Matteo Vitaioli - 4.0: Brought on to try and offer something different but faced the same problems as the man he replaced.

Marcello Mularoni - 4.0: Full of running but ultimately chasing ghosts as Austria continued to dominate possession.

Gabriel Capicchioni - 4.0: Another fresh body thrown into an impossible situation. The game was long gone by the time he appeared.

Matteo Sammaritani - N/A: Came on for the final ten minutes with the score at 8-0.

Manager

R. Cevoli - 3.0: What could he possibly have done? The gulf in resources and quality was astronomical. His team was set up to be compact, but they were picked apart with ease. It's hard to be too critical, as his team was up against a giant. A brutal night on the touchline.
