Spain vs Austria: How to Watch World Cup Round of 32 Live
The reigning European champions, Spain, take on a resilient Austria team in the Round of 32. Spain aims to regain its former World Cup prowess after mixed performances in the group stage. Austria scraped through with a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer to advance.
Spain topped Group H but struggled initially. Their campaign began with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, followed by a commanding 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia, and a tight 1-0 victory versus Uruguay. The side, led by Mikel Oyarzabal who has scored twice, and rising star Lamine Yamal, looks to break past the round of 16 exits from the last two tournaments, where they fell to Morocco in 2022 and Russia in 2018.
Austria advanced as runners-up in Group J after a chaotic 3-3 draw with Algeria. Sasa Kalajdzic’s late equalizer in second-half stoppage time secured their spot. This is Austria’s first World Cup appearance since 1998, when they were knocked out in the group stage. Their best finishes came decades ago with fourth place in 1934 and third in 1954. Marko Arnautovic leads Austria’s attack with two goals, supported by midfielders Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer, hoping for an upset.
