"The Spanish matador" sweeps Austria with a clean three-goal victory and confidently advances to the next round.

Spain achieved its first victory in the knockout stages since winning the World Cup in 2010, with an easy 3-0 win over Austria on Thursday in Los Angeles, advancing to the round of 16 of the 2026 edition held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Mikel Oyarzabal (36 and 89) and Pedro Porro (66) scored the goals for "La Roja," setting up a match on Monday in Dallas against the winner between Portugal and Croatia, who will meet later in Toronto.
