Spain vs Austria: How to Watch World Cup Round of 32 Live
Spain, the reigning European champions, take on a determined Austria side that scraped into the tournament with a stoppage-time equalizer. Spain topped Group H but never fully impressed, starting with a scoreless draw against Cape Verde before routing Saudi Arabia 4-0 and edging Uruguay 1-0.
The Spanish team looks to revive their World Cup success after winning it all in 2010 but stumbling out in the round of 16 in the last two editions, losing to Morocco in 2022 and Russia in 2018. Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain's attack with two goals, supported by Lamine Yamal.
Austria progressed as runners-up from Group J in dramatic fashion, securing their spot with a late goal in a 3-3 tie against Algeria. Their last World Cup appearance was in 1998, where they exited during the group stage. Historically, Austria’s best finishes were fourth place in 1934 and third in 1954.
Marko Arnautovic stands out for Austria with two goals, while Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer control the midfield as they aim to cause an upset.
