Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice as Spain defeated Austria 3-0 in Los Angeles to advance to the World Cup round of 16. The European champions, who had a goal controversially disallowed earlier, found their rhythm late in the first half. Oyarzabal opened the scoring, and Pedro Porro doubled the lead before Oyarzabal sealed the convincing victory.

Austria, despite a spirited effort and a late surge from striker Sasa Kalajdzic, could not find a way back into the match. Spain's defense remains impenetrable at the tournament, having yet to concede a goal. This victory extends their impressive unbeaten streak in competitive internationals to 34 matches.

While Spain showed moments of frustration, their attacking prowess and defensive solidity signal a warning to other contenders. With Oyarzabal in lethal form, and glimpses of Lamine Yamal's talent, Spain appears poised for a deep tournament run. They now await a clash with either Portugal or Croatia in the next round.
