Spain beat Austria 3-0 in their World Cup last-32 match in Los Angeles to qualify for the round of 16. Mikel Oyarzabal scores twice, with goals coming in the first half and late in the second half. Pedro Porro adds Spain’s third goal by heading in after a cross early in the second half. Multiple reports describe Spain as dominating possession and creating chances throughout the match, while Austria struggle to build sustained attacks.
BBC Sport and other outlets say Oyarzabal scores in each half. Spain’s first goal arrives in the 36th minute, with Oyarzabal converting Cucurella’s cross. Porro’s header extends Spain’s lead in the 66th minute. In the closing stages, Cucurella’s cross finds an unmarked Oyarzabal for a finishing touch in the 89th minute.
Several sources also note Austria’s occasional threat, including saves by Alexander Schlager and a late, unmarked chance that Austria fail to convert. The win means Spain advance to the knockout stage, with their next opponent set by the outcome of the Portugal or Croatia match.
