Spain easily advanced to the Round of 16 thanks to a convincing 3-0 victory over Austria, after dominating the match from start to finish.
La Roja controlled possession throughout the match and opened the scoring before halftime with a beautiful finish by the Real Sociedad forward, who was set up by Marc Cucurella.
Spain continued to dictate the pace after the break, creating numerous chances and adding two more goals to seal the victory.
Austria struggled to trouble the Spanish defense despite the efforts of David Alaba and his teammates.
Goalkeeper Alexander Schlager made several crucial saves to prevent an even heavier defeat, but Ralf Rangnick’s team lacked offensive creativity and rarely threatened the Spanish goal.
With this impressive performance, Spain advances to the next round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and reaffirms its status as the tournament favorite.
