Spain vs. Austria: How to Watch the World Cup Round of 32 Match

The Round of 32 features a clash between Spain, the reigning European champions, and a gritty Austria squad that scraped through with a last-minute equalizer. Spain topped Group H but showed some shaky moments, starting with a 0-0 draw against Cape Verde before winning 4-0 against Saudi Arabia and edging Uruguay 1-0. Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain with two goals, while young talent Lamine Yamal has also scored once. Spain aims to move past their recent Round of 16 exits in 2018 and 2022.

Austria advanced as Group J runners-up after a dramatic 3-3 draw with Algeria, with Sasa Kalajdzic scoring deep into stoppage time. Their last World Cup was in 1998, where they did not advance beyond the group stage. This team’s best finishes date back to the 1930s and 1950s. Leading Austria is Marko Arnautovic with two goals, supported by midfielders Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer.
