Spain vs. Austria: How to Watch the World Cup Round of 32 Match Live

The reigning European champions, Spain, are eager to regain their World Cup momentum as they take on a determined Austria team that scraped through with a last-minute equalizer. Spain topped Group H but showed some inconsistency, starting with a 0-0 tie against Cape Verde, followed by a commanding 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia and a tight 1-0 victory against Uruguay.

Since their 2010 World Cup triumph, Spain has fallen at the round of 16 stage twice, losing to Russia in 2018 and Morocco in 2022. Players like Mikel Oyarzabal, who has scored twice, and Lamine Yamal with one goal, carry hopes of pushing further this year.

Austria’s Unexpected Journey

Austria advanced as runners-up in Group J after a dramatic 3-3 draw with Algeria, where Sasa Kalajdzic scored an equalizer deep into stoppage time. Their last World Cup appearance was in 1998, exiting in the group stage, with their best historical results dating back to third place in 1954 and fourth place in 1934.

Leading Austria's charge is Marko Arnautovic with two goals, supported by midfielders Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer. They aim to pull off a significant upset in this knockout match.
