The Spanish team today beat Austria (3-0) at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, at the 16th World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, with two goals by Mikel Oyarzabal  and one by Pedro Porro .

Spain has dispelled doubts, with fast and direct football, but without losing its defensive strength .

In addition, theAlavés Unai Simon  has become the best goalkeeper in the history of the World Cup , keeping his goal to zero for more than 518 minutes.

The goals of Eibarrés Mikel Oyarzabal (29) have unbalanced the duel against Austria. With two of his goals he has overtaken Fernando Morientes and tied in sixth place with Fernando Hierro. The Guipuzcoan striker has already scored four goals in this tournament.

The resistance of Ralf Rangnick's team has collapsed in the first half, with Pedri leading the attack and Cucurella giving a big pass to Mikel Oyarzabal for the Guipuzcoano to score the first goal of Spain.

Before going to the locker room, Baena sent the ball to the A0langa in a foul pitch, and Laminhad another chance to double the rent .

In the second half came the second goal of Spain. In a move from the left band, the center of Baena was topped head-on by Pedro Porro, who sent it to the bottom of the net.

In the last few minutes came the third and final goal of the match. Spain found depth again through Cucurella on the left side. And as in the first goal, the new Real Madrid player saw Oyarzabal all alone in the area, and the Guipuzcoano only had to push the ball.
