Mikel Oyarzabal proved the difference-maker, netting a brace that underscored his recent surge in form. The striker broke the deadlock in the 36th minute after latching onto a precise delivery from Marc Cucurella. Spain maintained their dominance after the break, with Pedro Porro doubling the lead in the 66th minute by heading home a cross from Baena. Oyarzabal completed his double in the closing stages, again capitalizing on a Cucurella assist to seal the 3-0 result.
Austria struggled to find any rhythm, failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match. This clinical performance signals a shift for the Spaniards, who now prepare for a challenging matchup against either Portugal or Croatia. With Lamine Yamal working back to full fitness, the team appears to be hitting its stride at the most critical juncture of the tournament. Oyarzabal’s latest goals bring his tally to four for the tournament and 17 in his last 16 starts for the national side.
