Christoph Baumgartner, who was unsteady after colliding with Illia Zabarnyi a few minutes earlier, scored in the 21st minute.
The goal came from a corner when he beat the Ukrainian defender after receiving a ripe ball from Alaba.

The groggy-looking Austrian midfielder was then withdrawn 10 minutes later and his replacement Alessandro Schopf almost set up a second when he found Marko Arnautovic on the counter-attack.
However, his left foot kick deviated from the target.
Ukraine, who was reckless on the ball and rarely threatened in the final third, finished with three points.
Andriy Shevchenko's side will have to await a decision on whether they are one of the four best third-placed teams.
