Spain advances to World Cup round of 16 after 3‑0 win over Austria

Spain secured a place in the round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by defeating Austria 3‑0 in Los Angeles. The opening goal came from Mikel Oyarzabal in the 36th minute, followed by Pedro Poro’s strike in the 66th minute and a late finish by Oyarzabal again in the 89th minute.

In the parallel match, Portugal edged out Croatia 2‑1 after extra‑time to claim the other spot in the knockout stage. Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Portugal, and the winning goal was netted in the 94th minute of extended play. Other round‑of‑32 results included Switzerland’s 2‑0 victory over Algeria and a series of scheduling updates for the remaining fixtures.

The outcomes set up a possible quarter‑final clash between Spain and Portugal, while the tournament progresses toward its quarter‑finals, semi‑finals and final later in July.
