  "account": "Hoffenheim's Fisnik Asllani scored his first goal since Leipzig's failed transfer move, as Kosovo and Austria shared a 1-1 draw in Pristina. The 24-year-old striker, who last netted for Hoffenheim in a 2-1 victory over Hamburg during last season's matchday 31, had missed out on a lucrative move to RB Leipzig after a failed medical examination. He also missed the start of the current season due to a knee injury. Asllani returned to action off the bench in the last three matches prior to the international break, with Franco Foda utilizing him as a substitute against the Republic of Ireland and Israel. He played the full 90 minutes in the goalless draw against Israel. Asllani made an immediate impact in the match against Austria, coming on as a substitute and netting a goal just four minutes into his appearance. Austria, managed by German coach Ralf Rangnick, equalized in the 77th minute through LASK Linz midfielder Christoph Lang. Bayern Munich's Konrad Laimer returned to the starting lineup for Austria, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season. In other European fixtures, Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo as they face Norway's Erling Haaland in Porto, while the Republic of Ireland and Israel will contest the other match in the group.",
