How did Austria-Hungary start World War 1?

<h3>How did Austria-Hungary start World War 1?</h3>

I am doing a paper stating how Austria-Hungary directly sparked the war, and have found several reasons but am having trouble putting it all together. There are many obvious things, but I am in need of explanation as to how and why. Thank you.

Poland scored first - from an offside position before Austria scored an injury time penalty to draw the match.</p>
