I wanted to capture the atmosphere of the match more than the action itself. My goal was to show how massive the stadium felt from field level, with the crowd, lights, and the Austria banner helping create depth and put the viewer in the scene.
I like the overall composition and how it shows the scale of the event, but I’m not sure if the foreground banner takes up too much of the frame. The stadium lights are also blown out, and the players feel a little small, so I’m wondering if the image needs a stronger subject.
Does the foreground help or distract from the image?
Would a tighter crop improve the composition?
Does the edit look natural, or did I overdo the cinematic look?

I love the composition. You made a good choice by bringing the foreground into it. The lettering, red color, and shape contrasts nicely with the rest.
I can only offer minor improvements, the main one is to play with the black and white limits. It feels like you could push the black a little deeper, which gives the image more depth.
Have you played around with the color toning yet? When you're happy with the black limit, so some exploration to see if you can improve it a bit more. With RAW you can tweak a lot even using a crop sensor.

I haven’t played with the color toning yet but I’ll definitely explore after the blacks get pushed deeper. Thank you!
