Mikel Oyarzabal gave Spain the lead against Austria in their FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 32 encounter, played in Los Angeles.

The strike broke the deadlock in what had been a tightly contested match, opening the scoring for the reigning European champions as they pushed for a place in the next round.

Commentators noted the goal had been anticipated — Spain had been dominant in the build-up and their pressure on the Austrian defence eventually told.
