Spain dominated Austria in Los Angeles to reach the last-16 with a 3-0 victory and looked every bit one of the teams to beat in the World Cup.Among the favourites for the tournament, Spain were in complete control and with Lamine Yamal again pulling tricks and striking fear into defenders, Luis de la Fuente’s side look the biggest challengers to France for the title. They could face the 2022 finalists in the semi-final in Dallas on July 14.Mikel Oyarzabal calmly slotted home after a cross from the left in the first half before Pedro Porro added a second in the second half after great work from Marc Cucurella. Another Cucurella cross was then finished by Oyarzabal for his fourth goal of the tournament.The result means Spain go through to the last 16, where they will face either Portugal or Croatia in Dallas on July 6.See our World Cup bracket here to plot the route to the final.Laurie Whitwell, Dermot Corrigan, Mark Carey, Phil Hay and Graham Scott break down the action.No-look passes and nutmegs – how good was Yamal?Yamal arrived at the stadium wearing a chunky diamond-encrusted gold chain, which had Batman’s face etched onto a skyline of Gotham City, and from an Austria perspective he spread a sense of foreboding like the Dark Knight does his adversaries.Yamal may not have scored — he went closest when seeing his shot cleared off the line by David Alaba five minutes from time— but he was a menace to Austria’s defenders, displaying much of his arsenal to ensure those in white were straining repeatedly to keep up, softening their resistance for others to take advantage.Austria coach Ralf Rangnick shifted Konrad Laimer, the reliable Bayern Munich player, to left-back in an attempt to best handle Yamal – giving him chance to tackle on his stronger foot when the 18-year-old cut inside – and the pair engaged in an entertaining tussle.Yamal twice nutmegged Laimer and although on neither occasion was he able to retrieve the ball on the other side, it was a sign of the danger he posed.Laimer made two strong early tackles to set the mood, and even shimmied past Yamal down the touchline in another moment – drawing a pained look up to the sky from Yamal. But the Barcelona forward was a joy to watch, always looking to inflict damage.At one point he did a sharp no-look pass to Pedro Porro and he tested Alexander Schlager with a well-struck shot.He constantly got possession wide right and drove towards goal, the ball stuck to his foot.It was a performance that, after recovering from a hamstring injury in April, indicated he is getting into his groove.Laurie WhitwellHave the real Spain arrived?Spain came into this game having won Group H easily in the end, picking up seven points from nine against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, but arguably they only really impressed when scoring three times inside 24 minutes in game two against the Saudis.
