Spain ratcheted up the pressure gradually through the first half, creating a string of chances after the first hydration break.<\/p>\n
Marc Cucurella thought he had scored from a Lamine Yamal corner, but Pau Cubarsi was judged to have encroached on Austria\u2019s goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
Alexander Schlager then made a superb diving save, pushing Oyarzabal\u2019s low shot around the post.<\/p>\n
Austria\u2019s defence finally buckled in the 36th minute. Pedri pinged a ball wide left to Cucurella, whose cross to Oyarzabal was calmly side-footed past the keeper.<\/p>\n
Spain\u2019s dominance grew further, with Yamal tormenting the Austrians, mainly from the right flank.<\/p>\n
An Alex Baena free kick hit the crossbar, and Yamal\u2019s close-range follow-up shot was well saved.<\/p>\n
Austria spurned a rare chance at the other end. Romano Schmid played in a late-arriving and unmarked Stefan Posch, but a terrible first touch meant he lost the ball before attempting a shot.<\/p>\n
After the break, Spain continued knocking on the door without quite putting the game to rest.<\/p>\n
Austria sent on two giant strikers, Sasa Kalajdzic and Marko Arnautovic, and immediately went long, with Kalajdzic putting a header over the bar.<\/p>\n
But in the 66th minute, Spain struck again. Baena lifted a cross onto the head of Porro, who nodded in his first goal for Spain.<\/p>\n
Some dogged defending kept the scoreline respectable, including a goalline clearance by David Alaba from Yamal, who was substituted off moments later.<\/p>\n
Spain sprayed passes around the pitch as the final minutes ticked down, eliciting \u201cOles\u201d from the crowd, as attention turned to a sterner test in Dallas on Tuesday morning (NZT).<\/p>\n
In the 89th minute, a pinpoint Cucurella cross found Oyarzabal completely unmarked in the penalty area, and he slotted the ball home.<\/p>\n
