63’ – Arnautovic and Simon collide, the latter winning a free kick because he is a goalkeeper. But it is the Austria player who is worse off, landing heavily after the Spain stopper leapt above him to head a long ball away.

60’ – And within a minute of coming on Kalajdzic’s first touch is to head a nice Sabitzer cross narrowly over. That’s better from Austria.

59’ – Another double change for Austria: Kalajdzic and Arnautovic are on, Schmid and Gregoritsch are off.

59’ – Spain’s level of control right now is as close to complete as it can possibly be. Austria are unable to get out of their half and only touching the ball to hook clear. Spain keep coming back at them, a blur of pass-move-pass-move.

57’ – Yamal is fine to continue. And he has now had a lovely exchange of passes with Porro that almost sets the underlapping full-back away.

55’ – Posch goes into the back of Baena and commits a foul. On the opposite side Yamal goes down and it’s not immediately clear why.

54’ – Rodri has a go from far out. It’s deflected for a corner, Spain’s eighth. Baena’s delivery is this time headed away by Gregoritsch.

53’ – Chukwuemeka gives the ball away, allowing Spain to deliver wave after wave of attack. Danso and Alaba both make interventions in dangerous areas but there is no outlet right now and every time they clear it leads to a fresh Spain charge.

51’ – Olmo wins a corner which Baena pings in. Oyarzabal heads it over.

49’ – Yamal dances in from the wing but runs out room and then fouls Sabitzer.
A few shots later Oyarzabal shoots from range and Schlager saves well.
