Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem are seen cheering for Spain in the stands at SoFi Stadium during the World Cup on July 2, 2026. The celebrity couple joins Spain’s fan contingent as the national team beats Austria 3-0 in the Round of 32. Spain’s goals come from Mikel Oyarzabal, who scores twice, while Pedro Porro adds a header to complete the victory. The result sends Spain into the next stage, a Round of 16 match against the winner of Portugal or Croatia, scheduled for July 6 in Dallas.
Sources also note the win is Spain’s first World Cup knockout victory in 16 years, extending the team’s bid for a second World Cup title since 2010. While the Times of India report emphasizes the match outcome and implications for Spain’s tournament run, the other outlets focus on the couple’s presence and animated cheering during the game, after the 3-0 victory over Austria.
