7M - Spain 3 - 0 Austria: Mikel Oyarzabal nets twice as Spain knock Austria out of World Cup

Mikel Oyarzabal scored a brace as Spain proved too strong for Austria, cruising to a 3-0 victory at the SoFi Stadium to secure their place in the last 16 of the World Cup.

After seeing a goal from full-back Marc Cucurella ruled out for a foul during a corner, the European champions took the lead in the 36th minute through Oyarzabal's composed finish.

Spain—seeking their first win in a World Cup knockout match since lifting the trophy in 2010—eventually made their dominance count again when Tottenham defender Pedro Porro headed in a second just past the hour mark.

Oyarzabal added his second of the night with a minute left in normal time, as Luis de la Fuente's side booked a last-16 clash with either Portugal or Croatia for a place in the quarterfinals.
