INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) --- Mikel Oyarzabal scored two goals and Spain beat
Austria 3-0 on Thursday for its first World Cup victory in a knockout match
since winning the title in 2010.
Pedro Porro added a goal in the second half for Spain, which put on its most
impressive performance of the tournament while dominating possession and
demonstrating the offensive creativity across its vaunted lineup.
Spain also has yet to allow a goal at this year's World Cup, with Unai Simn
keeping his fourth consecutive clean sheet.
La Roja will next face the winner of Portugal's match against Croatia in Dallas
on Monday in the round of 16.
