EURO 2008 INFO

Austria beat Cuba 4-1 in a European Championship warmup game in an empty stadium on Friday.

The unofficial match consisted of three periods of 35 minutes each without spectators or press attending.

Sanel Kuljic's header gave Austria the lead after 11 minutes, before Jaime Colome leveled the score for Cuba on a free kick nine minutes later.

A penalty kick by Rene Aufhauser, a header by Erwin Hoffer and a long-range shot by Aufhauser completed Austria's scoring.

"These 105 minutes were a real good test for us," Austria coach Josef Hickersberger said. "The team stayed focused throughout and we used all players who are fit. We created a lot of chances and scored four times, which was important."

Austria plays Nigeria in an official friendly next Tuesday, one day before the definitive squad for the tournament in Austria and Switzerland has to be announced.

Austria starts Euro 2008 against Croatia on June 8, and will also play against Poland and Germany in Group B.
